Fall 2008 Workshop Topics

Addlestone Thursday @ Three Session Schedule for fall 08

An Introduction to Practical, Free and Useful Web 2.0 Tools for Personal Productivity and Collaborative Learning

Each month will have an overarching theme dedicated to a Web 2.0 concept or application.  There will be two sessions per month, with the first session dedicated to explanation and demonstration of the application.  The second session of each month will consist of a workshop “make and take” allowing participants to create a practical utility for their specific areas of interest and instruction.
