The document is a presentation on introducing social media and Web 2.0 tools for faculty practices. It discusses concepts like social presence, notification and awareness, contexts for relationships and discussions, and faculty practices using tools like Slideshare, Ustream, and Twitter. Potential blockers to adoption are also examined, such as lack of time, ownership issues, and lack of peer review processes. The presentation concludes by recommending sound pedagogical practices, making better use of face-to-face class time, starting small with familiar tools, balancing openness with opting in, and getting help from IT support services.
