Psychology 2.0 in Practice

July 2nd, 2008 by jamie

Do you want a hands on guided tour of wikis, forums, file sharing, blogging, social networking and more? This practical workshop should develop your ability to confidently interact with such technologies and therefore enable you to make better use of these techniques for learning and teaching psychology. Suitable for all, from those who have a less-than-healthy relationship with the internet to those who are internet-o-phobic.

This was our plan … and this is the blog to support Mark Holah & Jamie Davies’ ATP 2008 talk. Have a browse around and see what lies within.

Enjoy!
