We had a wonderful F2F on tuesday. The topic was collaborative tools and we (collaboratively, of course!)
decided to pick one new toy/tool to learn about this summer, and blog about it. My tool will be diigo – a centralized location for bookmarks, notes, etc that can be accessed from anywhere. more about this when I learn more……
Is there a tool you want to learn about and blog about? join the conversation!
As usual, this weekend I was careening around the web, and reading about education. I was looking at my colleague, Alexandra Pickett’s blog.
