Visit the TLT-SWG blog and add a comment to one of the postings.

Start at the "Table of Contents" page, read a few of the items, select one, click on the link to get to the full posting of that item, go to the bottom of the item, click on "comments," and then add your own comment. You can do so using your Blogger username and password or you can do so anonymously.

If Blogger is still having some tech. trouble, skip the Table of Contents and go directly to the TLT-SWG full blog.

Intro: What have Blogs, Wikis, RSS Podcasts o do with Learning

Steve Gilbert is presenting material in a series of three webcasts... and our mission is torecover from a disastrous first session which coincided with problems at Blogger.
Steve has sent an email with some exercises. I'll record my progress or lack thereof, together with other resources, ideas from other participants, and links.

Here's the 1st installment of the follow-up I described.
