eChicago networking event - today

I'm sitting in a workshop at Dominican University where speakers are sharing ways libraries and Community Technology Centers can use technology to serve their communities. Great ideas.

I just listened to Frances Roehm http://skokietalk.info and now I'm listing to George Reece, http://squeakcmi.org . Learn more about George's work at http://www.mste.uiuc.edu

I've set up a discussion which I hope speakers and participants will use to keep talking to each other after today.

I'll write more later.

Just finished listing to Jenny Levine talk about gaming and how libraries can adopt gaming in positive ways. Visit her site to see the full presentation.

These are inspiring ideas. How to spread them through tutor/mentor programs or to other communities is the next step.
