Hello Tech list colleagues,

 

At the end of December I asked that list-members forward via the list or
to me directly, the topics you would like to see explored in 2008.
Following is a listing of those topics. If you have other requests
please send them to me or to the list by the end of the week and then we
will begin the job of arranging for discussions. 

If you see a topic that is of particular interest please feel free to
"second the motion" for that topic. If you would like to lead a
discussion or know someone who would be valuable to join the list on a
particular topic please let me know.

 

2008 nominated topics for discussion on the Technology List:

 

1. Social networking (this received the most requests so will be our
first discussion)

2. Desktop teleconferencing

3. Presentation software

4. Electronic Whiteboards

and other inexpensive laptops for students and self-study learners in

Mariann
