SIM 2009 Presentation recap: Links and additional information for getting started with social media

Thanks to everyone who attended our sessions on social media at the 2009 SIM® conference in Lawrence yesterday! Below is a list of the various sites we recommended over the course of those four hours. If I’ve forgotten anything, just leave a comment at the end of this page and I’ll add what’s missing (be a “critic!”). Feel free also to provide any other suggestions about getting started with social technology as well. Thanks again!

I dug around a bit to find these links this morning–I hope they help explain or reinforce some of the concepts we discussed about Twitter.

Preview slides for our Thursday session “Using Social Media in Professional Development”

Hot off the virtual presses: Here are the slides we’re going to use as a very rough guide to our first Thursday session, “Using Social Media in Professional Development.” These slides mostly cover the first part of our session–the latter half will be more hands-on, live demonstrations of social media services, questions and answers, etc.

We’ll have a PDF version available shortly as well. Hope to see you all at the conference!
