Vita-Learn NW Meeting Dec 4 Agenda and Minutes

The Vita Learn NW Meeting (December 4)
was hosted by the Essex Jct Tech Integration Specialist at the Park Street School

The morning was filled with incredible food and drinks, fabulous networking, and an abundance of learning.
One comment overhead on the way out was "It's going to take me weeks to review everything I learned of today"

8:30 - 9:15  Share Time  Round 1

Everyone introduced themselves and shared one or more web20 tool that they had bookmarked on delicious.
This not only modeled innovative use of delicious for collaborative sharing, but also gave us a wealth of resources to explore

We shared
