This is a presentation I gave for a visiting delegation of Chinese academics. It's about how we incorporate social technologies in our teaching. The slides are pretty bare-bones, as having an interpreter meant I couldn't talk at my usual fifty miles a minute... so less content than normal. It was really fun talking about using social media in teaching with this audience - given the restrictions on access to social media in China. All the images used in this presentation are favourited in my Flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/katiedavispics/favorites/ - thanks to all the awesome creative people who share their images!
