Welcome to Klein Web 2.0. Camp. This course was inspired by the California School Library Association School Library Learning 2.0. Their course was borrowed and duplicated from the original Learning 2.0 course created by Helen Blowers at the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. The original course was loosely based based upon Stephen Abram's article, 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006) and the website 43Things.
The goal of this course is to explore and have fun. As you begin this Web 2.0 journey, think about your goals and what you hope to accomplish.
