Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology

In the closing panel of the Symposium, we got a group of people together to discuss the future of social computing in higher education. We had perspectives from John Harwood, Senior Director of Teaching and Learning with Technology at Penn State; Lee Rainie, the Director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project; Jim Thomas, Dean of the Smeal College of Business; and three students: Dan Rosenbaum, Alexander Kozak, and David Gelpi. Their topics include everything from wikis to the new meaning of "friend" in the context of online social networking applications.
