Web+2.0+Tools

Read,Write, and Think on Thinkfinity has provided us with a neat script of questions and interview ideas for our students to get to know each other and for us to have an opportunity to build relationships and get to know them better throughout the process of this assignment.

Thanks for the Twitter resource. I could see something like this being helpful, and quick. Michele Mumaw Twitter resource;;
