I was amazed by the sheer volume of activity in Chinese by the students in this class. The use of the P2 theme seemed to really promote interaction and certainly encouraged a great deal of output from students. Great possibilities for language learning out on the open web! (see note for link)

The GSIPM blog is one of the most active organizational blogs on campus delivering relevant information to an audience of 500+. Topics include campus events, course information, and fellowships and scholarships.

The MIIS_GSIPM Twitter account not only posts all new announcements from the GSIPM blog, but also actively follows other international organizations that have relevance to the interests of all GSIPM students. The latest current affairs information is collected and shared with the GSIPM student body.

The ChemBioList http://twitter.com/ChemBioList Twitter page provides easy access to hand selected news related to chemical and biological weapons and terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction. Because one of Twitter's intended purposes http://help.twitter.com/portal was to provide news to self-selected groups of people and since the ChemBioList http://twitter.com/ChemBioList does exactly this, I believe the ChemBioList http://twitter.com/ChemBioList  account is a near optimal use of Twitter as a broadcast tool.

Molly Ammons has displayed an incredible energy and enthusiasm for blogging this semester. Through creating her own blogs, posting on the DMC blog, and constantly being active on Blogs @ MIIS through sharing new ideas and reflecting, she helped foster the online community here at MIIS.

An excellent example of a group of people reflecting, informing, telling stories, testing their creativity, and working to share their developing knowledge. (see note for link)

This class blog is a aggregated blog from each individual blog of members of this course. All members of the class used their blog for reflection but also for submitting projects and sharing good media. http://blogs.miis.edu/dm4change/

Team Monterey blog is a great example of a student organization using new media tools to organize and document their shared experience. I hope the group continues to post their experiences as they travel this coming January!

The Library blog draws people into a community of researchers and provides a great deal of useful information.

The Intensive English program's idea of providing phrasal verbs of the day is interesting, entertaining, and appeals to a wide audience. I would love to see them update even more often. (see note for link)

The institutional Twitter account has been around since early 2009 and regularly updates on various news and events related to the MIIS community.

Tech Dog's posts are humorous and shine light into the inner workings of the IT department. (see note for link)

MIIS@Work has been around the longest and has been a model for communicating with new media since September 2008, well before Exchange email replaced First Class. (see note for link)
