Project Play lives!

I'm happy to report that Project Play lives on. We are going to continue the Project indefinitely, but on a less intense schedule and set-up. Here's the plan:

Project Play will now be open to anyone and won't require any registration. People who couldn't participate in the first 2 semesters can, as usual, use the PP blog to do any of the past exercises. We will no longer track participants' progress or supply incentives.

We’ll have “Play Dates” online in OPAL on the 4th Friday of the month June through December 2008 and February through May 2009, during which we will discuss a new topic or more advanced features of an old topic and have time for you to ask questions. We’ll post the Play Date content on the blog on the same day as the OPAL session for those of you who can’t attend. For those of you needing contact hours for certification, you’ll be able to earn credit for the Play Dates, but not for doing the blog exercises on your own.

This summer’s topics will be as follows:

• June: more on del.icio.us (pre-requisite: Week 8: Semester 1)
• July: more on Google apps: Gmail, Sites, Calendar (pre-requisite: Week 2: Semester 2)
• August: more on LibraryThing (pre-requisite: Week 7: Semester 1)
  

If you'd like to sign up for our first Play Date on Friday, June 27th, please go to the SCLS web site to register. You need to sign up ahead of time, so we know how many seats to have available in our OPAL room.

Please let me know if you have any questions about Project Play. I look forward to continuing to play more, learn more, and fear less with all of you!
