The purpose of this wiki is to explore, explain and support non-traditional modes of publishing one's creations. In most cases, existing work and creations by others, using these same technologies, can also be used to support teaching and learning. These technologies fall under the broad definition of the "Read-Write-Web" or Web 2.0. There are hundreds of sites and services where you can create, modify and upload your own content, whatever it may be. (Designed for Connecticut College faculty and students.)
