Below you will find all of the Things that participants need to do in order to complete this program. The links below will take you to find the details and activities for each Thing. Although these exercises are outlined into a ten week program, this timeline is only a suggestion. This program is self-led so go at your own pace. The first three weeks of the program will be available on July 20, 2009. Each week thereafter a new week will become available (with new links activated) so you can always work up to two weeks in advance of the current week if desired. The reason for this staggering is so that people can benefit from discovering and sharing about each new web tool at relatively the same time, hopefully leading to more collaboration amongst participants. The program will extend for four weeks after the final outlined week in order to allow late starters and those who weren't able to find dedicated time on a weekly basis a chance to catch up. Permanent employees of the Auraria Library are encouraged to finish the program by October 23, 2009 in order to receive a USB/mp3 player.
