I’ve recently had the privilege of stumbling across some of Laurentian University’s History professors on the world wide web. I thought it fantastic that they are beginning to use social media, as it is such an important part of society for prospective students, current students, and recent Alumni(such as myself). The department has its own twitter account, which is in its infancy stages @luhistory . Dr. Janice Liedl has a twitter account @jliedl . Dr. Andrew Smith has his own blog, where he posts about topics ranging from economics to politics, http://andrewdsmith.wordpress.com/ .
I’m glad that you found us again. Web 2.0 has a lot of useful tools we need to explore (and exploit!) in academics.
I completely agree Janice! π
