Our webshow was canceled tonight...Mike explains in our podcast.  However, the guest was ready, so the show went on via skype and GarageBand.  The topic for tonight was Social Networking in the State of Ohio.  Abby created a Ning site called "Ohio Educational Technology Network" for teachers in Ohio to share ideas, lessons, podcasts, the list goes on and on.  Tonight we discussed the future of this site and the possible directions the site will take.  Please visit the site at www.oetn.org.
