IPL 15 Things!

[Lorri]

In honor of the IPL’s upcoming 15th birthday on March 17, 2010, the IPL will be launching the IPL 15 Things – introducing 15 of our favorite technologies: blogs, microblogging, wikis, social networking, virtual worlds, podcasts, videos, forums and web boards, RSS, document sharing, social tagging, reading, awareness tools, text messaging, and images/photos. For each of these technologies, we will provide background information, best practices, related readings, examples of how the IPL is using the technology, and most importantly, hands-on exercises.

So get ready! If you complete the IPL 15 Things by April 17th 2010 , your name will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card to Amazon – this way you can purchase something that will help you in your technology development. “Blogs,” the first of the IPL 15 Things, is being released today, September 8th. We will broadcast the link widely. Every few weeks, additional “things” will be released with the final release scheduled for March 17th.
