Beyond Blocking: Embracing the Social Web

View more presentations from Melanie Mcbride.

A great set of slides from Melanie McBride, and a superb resource if you’re trying to explain this whole ‘Web 2.0 thing’ to an unenlightened audience, or even a sceptical audience.

This is precisely the sort of enlightenment needed by a large proportion of the IT professionals managing education authority networks here in Scotland.

Melanie is happy for anyone to re-distribute and remix her presentation (with attribution and under a similar CC license).

Hey thanks John.

I’m very honoured that you found value in the slides. It’s quite a simple presentation intended for those who haven’t really explored these tools in the same ways you and I have. And that’s a surprising number of people.

Anyway, I hope others will build upon and remix this. We’re all involved in this conversation.
