Remember when your "personal learning environment" was ... your desk?

No more. Today, that term refers to the virtual space where a host of powerful productivity tools replace the stapler and pencil sharpener, and promise to transform the way we work and interact.

If you haven’t been tracking the evolution of Web 2.0, you’ll be amazed at the applications now available … and if you have been trying to keep up, you know it’s an almost impossible task; new tools are popping up seemingly every day, everywhere.

Now there’s a seminar to help introduce you to this remarkable new virtual environment, and show how you and your students can harness its vast functionality.
