Friday Five: Picks of the week

Five good, quick reads from around the web this week:

1. Recruitment lessons from the E-Expectations report: Kyle James of .eduGuru breaks down Noel-Levitz’s annual report on how prospective students and their parents use the web and social media. A great summary.

2. Managing information overload: Six good tips from CKSyme.org.

3. Building a social media users’ guide: It’s a question of trust: Good insight from Tim Nekritz about his experience.

4. Embrace the silence: Peter Shankman on knowing when to shut the heck up.

5. The 12 habits of highly connective people: Terrific post from Conversation Agent, with a bonus video of Anil Dash talking about making connections.

My #hewebar slide deck: Blogging for a Change

I just posted on Slideshare the slide deck to my HighEdWeb Arkansas presentation, Blogging for a Change. Here it is. I welcome any comments or suggestions (realizing that many of the slides are likely out of context without any notes or my scintillating oral presentation).

so, just a bit of context: The presentation was about how our campus used blogging to help facilitate a major rebranding and name change way back in 2006. It’s a bit of a history lesson. Enjoy.
