Date: Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Venue: Rider University Science and Technology Building.

Abstract: This session will introduce attendees to four of the most popular social networks, illustrating how specific features of each can be used to directly support academic goals. Using examples from Rider and other institutions, the audience will see how academics can use LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Ning in support of curricular, co-curricular, recruitment, publicity, and community outreach purposes. We will discuss why social networks exist as well as the pitfalls, benefits, and usage best practices. Attendees will have the opportunity to create one or more social network accounts and be given guidance on how to start using them for some specific academic purpose.

“Google has made blogging ubiquitous with Blogger, its freely available and very popular blogging tool. And although there are now literally hundreds of free and premium blogging solutions, many of which do much more than just blogging, librarians and educators will be interested in the most practical blogging solutions. This article will compare the focus, features, and feel (presentation, “themeability,” or layout) of Blogger and another major player in the no-cost blogging arena, WordPress.com. This article will also briefly touch upon some “blogalikes” that perform some specialized pseudoblogging tasks.

Stephan worked with me to reveal tools and techniques (ethernet sniffers, etc.) for protecting children at home from online predators.

Dombrowski, S. C., LeMasney, J. W., Ahia, C. E., & Dickson, S. A. (2004).  Protecting children from online sexual predators: Technological, legal, and psychoeducational considerations.  Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 35(1), 65-73.

‘Abstract: Professional psychologists should more fully understand the dangers of online sexual solicitation and ways in which to protect youth from sexual predators who use the Internet. Although the Internet has many positive aspects, one of the most pernicious aspects is its potential use for online sexual predation. The Internet represents a medium that allows sexual predators access to countless children in a relatively anonymous environment. This article reviews the general strategies of sexual perpetrators and their characteristics, as well as the online strategies and characteristics of the cyber sexual predator. Information on how to protect children from this crime through a review of technological, psychoeducational, and legal considerations is provided. A description of the relevant laws as they relate to online solicitation and practicing psychologists is also provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)’
