Have you heard the buzz about online learning communities but have not yet figured out how to build one? Do you feel left out when colleagues talk about their social bookmarks and Skype contacts? If so, this workshop is for you. As a group we will work with several Web 2.0 tools that can be used to start your own online learning community. These tools will include social bookmarks, RSS feeds / readers, wikis, and a number of Google applications.
