Welcome to the Taste of Web 2.0 Program
Connect @ your local library
This is a self paced online discovery program spanning six weeks. During this time you will explore a small sampling of the Web 2.0 applications currently available. The program is laid out in two blogs; the main one with the schedule of activities (this one) and a second blog with more detailed instructions on each activity.
