Monday begins the three-day AISV / MyPlace Summit. The workshop has been designed to support teachers participating in the project. We will help people decide how they want to participate and then provide hands-on experience learning the skills needed to make it a reality. We’ll set up Weblogs, collect online resources, design Looking activities and brainstorm how groups of students might collaborate online. Everyone will get a chance to explore all the Web 2 tools we’ve blended into the project. This will be fun!
