Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

When it comes to Web 2.0 tools, we all say it.

"I'd like to know more about that, but I don't have time."

"I'm not sure how I'd use it."

"I don't even know what the heck you're talking about."

This blog is a series of challenges to you, LHS Staff. It will help you learn more about available Web 2.0 tools in a hands-on fashion, provide you with direction and jumping off points, and become a place for sharing your experiences.

"Do I have to participate?"

Quite frankly, no. But if you want a chance at our super-duper completion prizes, then you better step up.

"What's in it for me?"

A shared learning experience with your fellow colleagues.

The opportunity to better connect with and understand your students (or your own kids, for that matter).

Exposure to time-saving and life-enhancing technology tools.

Hopefully, fun.

"Give me the low-down. How does this work?"

Each challenge (all in the Blog Archive to the right) will introduce you to a different Web 2.0 tool through text, video, images, and/or other media. There may be some samples for you to look at, some links to check out, or some suggestions for you to follow (or not). Most important, there will be a CHALLENGE for you to complete. Upon completion of the challenge, you will BLOG ABOUT IT in the blog you have created (which is Challenge #1, by the way).

**Once you've sent us your blog link, we will put it in the blogroll to the right over there. That way you'll be able to read what others are up to.

"Enough talk. Bring on the Challenges!"

Hold your horses -- one more thing. We would be remiss if we didn't mention that this idea came from a similar challenge called 23 Things on a Stick, developed by MN's multitype library system, which they lifted from someone else as well.

After all, Web 2.0 is all about sharing, right?

Your time starts now.
