New Event

NetFiles for Faculty

November 6, 2007
2:00 P.M. ~ 4:00 P.M.

NetFiles is a collaborative tool that can help faculty with research, service, and teaching. It gives all U of I faculty and staff half a gigabyte of storage space, with built-in Web space, available everywhere the Internet reaches. This workshop will teach faculty everything they need to store documents, to distribute them, or to collaborate with peers. We will explore collaborative applications of NetFiles for your research, service, and teaching.

To register for this event, go to the EdTech calendar.

SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES (SNS)

Social networking sites create communities of people online. These sites allow individuals to create a personal profile of information about themselves and share that information with other account users in the network. Additionally, these sites provide other communication tools such as instant messaging and chat rooms, e-mail, notes and blogs, file sharing, forums, and more.

Examples of sites include:

Always Illinois

Facebook

MySpace
