Listed in the post below are 23 Things (or small activities) that you can do on the web to explore and expand your knowledge of the Internet and Web 2.0.<br />You will find instructions on how to complete each activity in the below blog. You will create your own blog and this is where you will report on your progress with learning 2.0 and what you thought of each 'thing'. On your blog, enter the name of the topic above each activity you are completing (eg Thing 5:flickr). This will enable your progress through the program to be tracked effectively.<br />This program will commence on Monday 3 March 2008 and run for fourteen weeks until Friday 30 May 2008.<br /><br />Good luck!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1260695811682226544-1944875612527940265?l=geelonglearning.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>infojbloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10917118084963086855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260695811682226544.post-2824213622046446852007-08-10T21:16:00.002+10:002008-02-27T16:38:29.071+11:00<center></center><p>Learning 2.0 is a self discovery program that encourages you to control y ou own learning and use your lifelong learning skills through exploration and PLAY.
