Andy Carvin Senior Product Manager for Online Communities, NPR |
Andy Carvin is National Public Radio's senior product manager for online communities. Since his arrival at NPR, he has been developing a new online strategy for the organization that includes citizen journalism, social networking and user-generated content. Carvin was founding editor and former coordinator of the Digital Divide Network, an online community of more than 10,000 Internet activists in over 140 countries working to bridge the digital divide. As host of a PBS blog, learning.now, Carvin explores how new technology such as wikis, blogs, vlogs, RSS, podcasts, social networking sites, and the always-on culture of the Internet affect teachers' and students' lives both inside and out of the classroom. He serves as a field correspondent for the vlog, Rocketboom and has a blog, Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth. |
Social Networking: More than Just MySpace
It's easy to dismiss the whole social networking phenomenon as a bunch of teens getting in trouble on MySpace, but there's a lot more to it than that. There are literally hundreds of thousands of social networks on the Internet today, from educational study groups to grassroots activists. Even the presidential candidates are getting involved. Andy Carvin, senior strategist for social media at NPR, will take participants on a tour of the world of social networking, exploring its history, its future and its relevance in education.
