Are you experiencing information anxiety and finding yourself overwhelmed by all the new technology? Would you like to slow down and concentrate on one thing at a time? Or just have someone walk you through some of the Web 2.0 tools and terminology?

Join TIE for TechTuesday. We will feature a new web-based technology on the first Tuesday of every month at 3:30 MST/4:30 CST. No prior knowledge of Web 2.0 tools is needed. In addition to receiving step-by-step information, you will engage in a live webinar with a TIE Educational Technology Specialist, who will help guide you through the maze of web-based learning tools.
