8+Weeks+to+Web+2.0

=**Eight Weeks to Web 2.0 **= In the lazy days of summer, fire up your home computer and become a Web 2.0 teacher. Learn at your leisure and experiment with some of the tools of Web 2.0 so that you know more about it and become connected at a new level for the fall. Attendance isn't taken; there are no assignments. Just a nice, relaxing pace through some of the tools that will let you understand what Web 2.0 is all about and tips about how to create your own Personal Learning Network.
