Welcome! We can use this space to share what we have been learning about technology this summer in a way that actually uses some of the technology we have been learning about. We can start by sharing links, then we can add whatever we want as it goes; maybe new pages, plus just playing with the wiki as practice.
 * [|Web 2.0 district wide] Who knew? Some people are actually in the 21st century!
