Case - "Going Wild on Facebook"
This case was written by me to address Minnesota Wild's (NHL team) challenge of deriving data-driven insights from activity on their Facebook fan-page. Its a challenge faced by most businesses. What type of content, created by whom and when maps to fan interactions and engagement? 3 months of actual data from Facebook Insights is provided

Games - "Networks, Crowds and Markets"
Last Spring, the faculty at NYU Stern (Arun, Foster, Panos, Sinan and Yannis) started a new course about networks, crowds and markets. I have created a set of in-class games (involving hats and rope) that teach students about standards on a network, public goods, small-world effects and segregation. I'll describe the course and the games, discuss the pedagogical benefits of learning by doing, and perhaps illustrate the play of one of the games (if Vijay can provide the appropriate accessories:)

Using Twitter to facilitate student engagement (10-15 minutes)
I will discuss how we use twitter to encourage interaction inside and outside the class, as well as to access, filter and share novel information. I will present assignments that use Twitter as well as how we use it to complement the lectures, and discuss the benefits and challenges we have experienced.

Model-Driven Simulations for MBA Teaching (30 minutes)
I plan on presenting and demonstrating the www.Tradewindbusiness.com set of simulations that we have successfuly introduced to the curriculum over the past few years. These simulations allow us to expose students to dynamic issues which are hard to teach in any other way. They also result in comprehensive datasets that we ask the students to analyze ex-post. Some of these have been adopted by other business schools as well. Participants must have a laptop with them to be a part of the simulation. Additional information
