Using Web 2.0 Technologies in your Computer Science Classes

Manuel Pérez-Quiñones, Manas Tungare, Edward A. Fox

SIGCSE 2008: ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education

Abstract: This workshop shows how to use social networking sites in the classroom. We discuss how to use Facebook.com, del.icio.us, SlideShare.net, CiteULike.org, YouTube.com, and Yahoo Pipes. We also show how to use APIs and feeds to build mashups. Upon completion, participants will know how to: use SlideShare to support discussion on a per-slide basis; have students share resources (peer to peer) in del.icio.us; share and discover references via CiteULike; keep a blog for the course; publish homeworks and assignments in an online calendar; and share syllabi with our NSDL syllabus collection. We will also demonstrate our mashup-based approach to CS1.
