Complete Workshop Description
Online Workshop Description: 
Our highly interconnected, socially networked world provides us with excellent opportunities to stay informed about conference happenings. It doesn't matter if you're attending a conference physically or virtually: social media can enhance your conference experience. Even if you aren't attending the conference at all, you can still stay informed about what is happening at the conference by using the same tools as your conference-attending colleagues.   In this online workshop, we will help you learn about and practice with social networking technologies so you can stay informed and benefit from all the conference activity!

Presenter/Panelist Biographies
Biographies of Presenters/Panelists: 

Bethany Bovard is an adjunct teacher and staff at New Mexico State University, where she teaches and develops distance education programs and courses. Her primary interests and work all relate to professional development of educators interested in learning how to integrate technology into their courses and how to teach online. Bethany's background in computer technologies began in the late 1970's when she took her first programming class, and she continues to be an avid user of all types of computer technology. While she is passionate about technology in general, her real interest is in helping teachers and faculty find and select the right technologies to support the learning objectives of their courses. Bethany's work with Sloan-C as a workshop creator and facilitator allows her to indulge those passions daily.
