Month 2 Catch Up

 

Why we're doing this MILI thing again - Did You Know video by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Brenman

 

Nuts & Bolts - Based upon our meeting last week, we think you should think about some of these things as we go along - email, browsers, passwords, RSS, etc.

  3. Create your own document in Google Docs (or Zoho) or upload a document.  Invite others to collaborate on the document.
