=Tips, Tools, and Tricks: A Web 2.0 Potpourri= Presenter: Jimbo Lamb Twitter: misterlamb

Description of Presentation
Sometimes teachers need a chance to see some tools before they can come up with ideas for using them. In this session, a variety of online tools will be shared to help jump-start the brainstorming process. A few specific examples will be shown, others will just be overviews of the tools. This will be an open-discussion session, so feel free to raise your hand and ask questions. What better way to learn that ask and explore?
