I’ve been teaching social media fundamentals in the UBC and Emily Carr University continuing studies programs for nearly two years now. Early on in every course, I show students how to use iGoogle (and similar services) into a social media dashboard, displaying the latest results from online searches, must-read blogs and other sources.
The key to it all is the process of turning a feed into an iGoogle widget. (I know: Google calls them gadgets. Can’t we all just get along?) And this year, it finally dawned on me that it might be handy to have a video reference my students can fall back on in case my in-class demo wasn’t quite as memorable as I’d hoped.
And so, in case it’s useful to you…
(And if these can be helpful in your own trainings, feel free to use them.)
