I need to apologize for two things. I usually have a post up the evening after a training, but I have come down with a nasty cold, and went home to sleep. I didn’t show symptoms until after the training, so I’m sorry if I exposed you to my germs. Recapping our training, we covered collaborative editing with Google Docs and Wikis, sharing photos and bookmarks with Flickr and del.icio.us, and discussed copyright, creative commons, and licensing issues. Here are videos, and links for what was covered.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to share the class blog for one of the participants in yesterday’s training. If you have class Webpages, please feel free to share them in a comment.

She is using it as a place for students to contact her with questions about homework. Look at the comments and see how she is communicating with them. BRAVO!
