This class will cover a variety of Web 2.0 Internet-based tools that assist with connecting and keeping in touch with family while locating new family information and staying up-to-date with genealogical technology and social media. Wikipedia defines
Social Media as follows:

"Social media are primarily Internet-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. This interaction, and the manner in which information is presented, depends on the varied perspectives and "building" of shared meaning among communities, as people share their stories and experiences."Wikipedia contributors, "Social media," Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_media&oldid=270250781 (accessed February 12, 2009).
