Mark your calendars for the upcoming session, Web 2.0 Technologies, on March 18th, 2009 sponsored by the Cascadia Chapter of ASTD and its Salem GIG. Please join us for a highly practical presentation on Web 2.0 technologies presented by Kevin Jones. There is a lot of talk about, and fear regarding Web 2.0. With the shaky economy and tightening budgets, is this even a time to look at something new? You better believe it! In fact, the use of these technologies are being relied upon even more heavily during these times of budget cuts and shrinking staff because of their communication power. If you are not already thinking about how to integrate these technologies, you are missing out on a powerful, yet inexpensive resource. Join us as we look at what Web 2.0 is, examples of how and why it works, the underlying technologies and what you need to do about it NOW. Kevin Jones is a leader in using Web 2.0 tools in learning. He consults with companies on integrating social media into their organizations and into their learning strategy. He has spoken at many conferences, association meetings and webinars regarding the integration & best practices of "Social Learning." Kevin holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Oregon and is nearing the completion of a Masters in Instructional & Performance Technologies from Boise State University. His blog and Social Learning podcast can be found at http://engagedlearning.net.
