Let's get started

Today is July 30, 2008. It's hard to believe that July is almost over. I go back to work next Tuesday. For those who do not know, I am now the librarian/technologist. I will be teaching blogs, etc. to teachers and students.
I thought this would be a good place to gather all our thoughts. Have you ever said - I remember seeing that e-mail somewhere, but I forgot to print it off. Now everyone who gets this address can add web links, information gathered, etc. and have it available with a click of the button.
I have sent you the URL for the post. Log on and add, save and post.
