A "Hot Team" is a small, diverse group that works quickly and intensively to produce a public evaluation of an emerging technology. The process was developed by Education Technology Services at PSU.
Collaborative, innovative teams that cross functional boundaries and are networked across the campus and the world are possible, now more than ever before.
A good introduction to twitter with excellent introductory advice. A good explanation of why some are so excited, and others say, "yeah, so what?" when taking a first look at twitter.
A good example of a community note-taking space. This wiki has notes from workshops on emerging technology tools, including Flickr, Blogs, & Social Bookmarking.
