As tools are rapidly evolving, this book will provide a quick nuts-and-bolts overview of several popular tools but will emphasize the importance of understanding a tool for what it is and its unique application. This will extend the shelf life of the book and help readers analyze and utilize new tools as they evolve.? The book will then cover the most popular Web 2.0 tools for instructor-created content (blogs), community-created content (wikis), micro-blogging (Twitter), and community sharing and interaction (Facebook). Tools such as YouTube, SlideShare, and FlickR will be referenced as support technologies. For each technology discussed, the reader will be provided with detailed instruction on conducting several training/training-related activities. For instance, the Twitter chapter would offer directions for conducting read-and-respond activities and critical reflection activites on a past training event.
