Welcome to HEB23-2011 - more play, more fun, more adventure, more opportunity to study and learn. The premise is the same as HEB23, but now the playground is larger and more expansive. This blog outlines some activities designed to expose you to some tools, but the learning comes from your playing with the tools and reflecting in your blog how the tools can be used in education, particularly in student-created learning assignments. As always, I make no apologies that we approach all these tools from a Library perspective and firmly believe the Library is a big classroom connected to specific objectives in the classroom and should always be the hub or centerpoint of the school.
HEB23-2011 is an extension of our original program, HEB23. Whereas HEB23 was an introduction and overview of Web 2.0 tools for exploration and testing, HEB23-2011 is more application-based work with some of the more powerful cloud computing tools you dabbled in. You will now NEED to create many of the Things to be on the application-based level.
Be sure to remember what you learned with HEB23 as you play with 11.5 More Things including commenting on other players blogs. See what they have learned in their play.
I have had lots of problems just picking 11.5 More Things to learn that I think will be most useful in helping our students create and communicate their new learning. Many more new things exist that are not covered here. And, I'm sure there will be a Part III to this story before long. Anyway, plan on having some fun and learning some new tricks and tips. Punch your ticket to the Cloud and let the fun begin again!

From HEB23, one of the things we learned was that managing passwords can be difficult. You might want to consider a free account with a password managing website. One discussed on LM_NET (a national school Librarian listserv) was http://www.passpack.com/en/home/. Others can be found by doing a Google search on password manager.
