I launched and ran Ning's education program for 18 months, and educators continue to constitute their largest percentage of users. As a devoted user of Elluminate, I then became the public face of their community efforts two years until the company was acquired by Blackboard. In both cases, I was an active user of programs before joining their teams, and well known for authentically representing users to company and company to users. I have consulted for PBS, Intel, Ning, Blackboard, Microsoft, KnowledgeWorks Foundation, CoSN, MERLOT, the U.S. State Department, and many others on educational technology and specifically on social networking. I am available for consulting on Web 2.0, social networking, and educational technology projects. I can be reached at steve@hargadon.com or 916-283-7901.
