All inquiries should be directed to Kevin Feenan at the contact link above for the time being. We should have many of our committee chairs established before the end of January.

Nice post. I think many of us are wanting to push past the cool and trivial and use Web 2.0 to do meaningful, authentic things (imagine how students feel.) I think a more important question is that "Are students bored with worksheets?" Authentic and network building experiences and learning should become part of what they do. They don't want the trivial any more than we do.
