On the Way to Web 3.0

Foundations of the Web : Creating a Personal Learning Network in Livonia

Description: This series of three workshops will focus on today’s web users and web tools. We will discuss where the web has been and how it has moved from a static to a dynamic interactive resource. The second academy will focus on tagging, and digging

into tools, rules and what will fit your needs and support your current lessons (examples, samples and questions.)
