Bentley CS 299

I spent some time this afternoon with Mark Frydenberg‘s class at Bentley University: CS 299 Web 2.0 – Technology, Strategy, and Community.

I talked about my perspective on Web 2.0, trying to show how 2.0 tools can be used to help you organize the information you need to do your job better and develop yourself professionally. My take on web 2.0 tools is that they are great for personal knowledge management.

Web 2.0 has some obvious uses for marketing. But that’s like saying you watch television for the ads.

My slide deck is embedded below.

I used Google Docs to create the presentation. It falls far short of PowerPoint for the way I create my presentations. On the positive side, I could access the slide deck from any computer and make an edit when I had an idea.

Web 2.0, Knowledge Management and Professional Development

Mark Frydenberg

Mark Frydenberg is teaching a new, experimental class at Bentley University’s: CS 299 – Web 2.0: Technology, Strategy, Community. I am the experiment today, telling my story to his students.

The focus of my presentation will be how I learned about Web 2.0, started using it as a knowledge management tool and how I now use Web 2.0 for my professional development.

If you want to listen and watch, there will be a Ustream video. It should be on Checkmark’s Ustream at 11:20.

We will be watching the Twitter hashtag #cs299. Send any questions you want me to ask a roomful of college students learning about Web 2.0 by using CS299 in a Twitter post. Class starts at 11:20.

I gave them this reading list to give them some background on the topics I intend to cover. You can also see what the students have been doing by checking out their Class Blog and Discussions.

Below is the slidedeck I put together for the class:

Presentation to CS299 on Web 2.0

The slides are mostly visual so you may find it more useful to see my notes that go along with each slide. The slides with the notes are available at JD Supra: Web 2.0, Knowledge Management and Professional Development.
