Social Media Classroom Invitation to the Social Media Classroom and Collaboratory
elcome to the Social Media Classroom and Collaboratory. It’s all free, as in both “freedom of speech†and “almost totally free beer.†We invite you to build on what we’ve started to create more free value. The Social Media Classroom (we’ll call it SMC) includes a free and open-source (Drupal-based) web service that provides teachers and learners with an integrated set of social media that each course can use for its own purposes—integrated forum, blog, comment, wiki, chat, social bookmarking, RSS, microblogging, widgets , and video commenting are the first set of tools.
