[LINK] Free Digital Technologies Course for Teachers

[JanW]

I just did a presentation on the topic: Learning Stuff Online, to our local computer club. When I dug in, it was incredible how quickly this has grown. Because my audience was older and not content specific, the talk was general as well.

I've put my slides (in PDF) up on my blog for anyone who is interested.
