Summer Learning

July 2, 2007

My goal this summer is to learn more about web 2.0 and set up a blog and/or wiki for my book club. I'm working on the CSLA School Library Learning 2.0 and taking a few classes at the library system. I'd also like to work on editing and organizing pictures from my last few trips. After making a late start I hope to catch up on things during July.
