Last minute reminder about the final workshop in our spring series at
Rondo Community Outreach Library (a new session begins in July).
E-Participation and Real-World Politics
---------------------------------------
Rondo Community Outreach Library
University & Dale
7:00 PM - June 30th
In tonight's session we'll take a quick look at how blogs, social
networking sites, wiki's, podcasting, and other online tools are being
used to change politics and community organizing. Please, come along
and bring your own examples for an interactive discussion. We'll be
using the Electronic Classroom, so you can follow along online and try
out sites on your own.
See you there.....
