Presented by Ronald Gilliam, Online Development Coordinator – Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Univ. of Hawai′i at Mānoa
In the past five years social networking sites have drastically gained in popularity, but many users have yet to discover the true power behind effectual social networking. Surprisingly, few academics and educational administrators use free social networking sites despite the fact that online communities such as Facebook.com originated with an academic focus. This presentation aims to showcase various social networking technologies and how they may be applied in an academic setting. The Center for Southeast Asian Studies social networking tools “Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, and Vimeo” will be used as a guide for our exploration and we will discuss examples of good/bad social networking habits. In addition, advice will be given on various online sources to aid academics and educational administrators in adapting to new online methods of communication.

I'm delighted you are interested in my presentation! Yes, we do plan to podcast the talk within a few weeks and we are currently looking into live broadcasting of our events. We're not able to broadcast this lecture live on our website, but you should be able to get a recorded version from our speaker series archive once we can upload the files.

We tend to post our podcasts 2 or 3 weeks after the event closes. You can revisit the site and click the Podcast link in the navigation bar to access the podcast archive as the graphic on the right sidebar only leads to a description of our podcasts. We also post our podcasts to the University of Hawaii iTunes U site and Scholarspace. You can find more information about these sites (and how to access them) by clicking on the podcast graphic–the chicken with the earphones. Let us know if you have more questions! I look forward to your comments!
