7. Web 2.0 Communication Tools

This lesson covered: email, IMing, Texting, and Web Conferencing. I'm comfortable using email and use it a lot at work and at home. I was aware of IMing but haven't really been interested in using it. I think it has limited functionality for my uses and I see it as a time waste. Texting might be something we could use at the Reference Desk to answer student questions. Twitter seems to be a hybrid between IMing and Texting. Web conferencing is a useful tool. I've been an attendee numerous times. The last Minitex Webinar that I was in was with the MEIR Task Force.
