Learning 2.0 (plcmclearning.blogspot.com)—aka the “23 Things”—is a self-paced online learning program that I designed in 2006 as a one-person crusade to move an entire organization of 500-plus staff onto the Web 2.0 bandwagon.

23 small discovery exercises (i.e. “things”) around various Web applications, from blogs and wikis to podcasts, RSS, and mashups. What makes the program unique from other staff training workshops is that while the participants are learning about all these new technologies that enable community and social connections, they are actively creating an online social network for themselves.

The purpose of this course is to provide ”Just in Time” training through an online interface for K-12 educators based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T). These standards are the basic technology skills every educator should possess.
