I wanted to share an email I received today from Classroom 2.0 (and educator's networking site). They are offering a series of webinars that are a great opportunity for anyone interested in Web 2.0 tools. I've reprinted the email below.
FYI - if you are not as familiar as you would like to be, I am teaching a class for our consortium members - Web 2.0: The Lightning Round - An Introduction, this Tuesday, January 27th from 1:00 - 4:00 pm here on the Eighth Floor. If you need enrollment information, just let me know.
Here's the webinar information:

Dr. Gates will discuss how Americans’ understanding of President Lincoln and African American history and culture continues to evolve, and ways to approach this topic with students. Dr. Gates is the host of the documentary "Looking for Lincoln," which premieres in February. The program addresses the controversies surrounding Lincoln about race, equality, religion, politics, and depression by carefully interpreting the evidence from those who knew him and those who study him today.
