RE: [videoblogging] Looking for topics on teaching about social media
Thanks Sean - Actually, Howard Greenstein from NYU (and Social Media Club fame) is also helping with some of the content of the class - and in particular the social media aspect of it. And - the first day of class will be on discussing what is Web 2.0 - and I will be videotaping the class - and crafting the class into segments for people to watch via a vLog from Cooper sometime in the near future. We are working on building a quick-and-dirty development shop to craft these educational videos for others to view afterward. Thanks for the help.
