<br>Below is an online training event that regional members of this list might be interested in joining for some PD. Classroom 2.0 was started and managed by Steve Hargadon who was a keynote at a past VITTA conference in Melbourne. <br>

This Saturday, July 31st, Kim Caise, Lorna Costantini and Peggy George will be hosting another Classroom 2.0 LIVE show.

The topic this Saturday will be, <b>"What's New in Diigo v. 5?"</b>, with special guests, <b>Maggie Tsai, Jason Schmidt and Shannon Miller</b>. Join us to discuss the new features in the latest version of Diigo and how teachers use the social bookmarking tool in the classroom with students. "Dip your toes in" the conversations until you feel comfortable enough to "jump into the conversations with both feet"!
