If you're in New York for Social Media Week and plan to hit some sessions, be sure to check out The Future of Social Media in Education at noon on Friday Feb 5th at the McGraw-Hill building. It's a panel session hosted by McGraw-Hill and their GradeGuru startup, featuring GradeGuru's Yianni Garcia, Mashable's Adam Ostrow, Jatched.com's Mary Casey, a few others and of course me. Here's a summary of what we'll cover during our two-hour discussion:
How is social media changing the way college students learn? How are digital applications changing how professors teach? What are the most significant education technology trends of 2010 and beyond? Join a panel of education technology and emerging media experts to explore how the social web is transforming higher education. The event will also feature a preview of highly anticipated products from the McGraw-Hill Student Innovation Lab.
The session is free but space is limited, so if you're interested in social media, higher ed or learning more about what those pesky Millennials are up to now be sure to register in advance.
Can't be there in person? Tune in live on Ustream at noon eastern on Friday, February 5th.
