There will be a virtual industry conference introducing the top social media tools for business, which will showcase the newest and most compelling Social Media tools from around the world. All speakers are active social media practitioners, and the sessions are all about how to use social media in business, including best practices. This fully-online event is sponsored by Social Media Academy - Education and Research Institute for Applied Social Media. See http://www.socialmedia-academy.com/index.cfm for information.
While definitely geared to a corporate audience, there is sure to be relevant information in many of these presentations that can be adapted for educational uses.
For example: Thursday Nov 19: Social Media Reporting and Analytics tools. These sessions may give ideas on how to track student and/or parent involvement in the social networks for participation, grading, and feedback purposes.
Check out Tools Universe at http://www.socialmedia-academy.com/html/toolslist.cfm for a list of over 150 links to Web 2.0 tools. As the site says: "The following list may give you some interesting links to social media tools you may find helpful. Most of the places and spaces are suitable for social media business purposes. We did not list any game or dating networks."
