Sheryl Barnes' Work Blog

There’s a new faculty-initiated group at Tufts called STREAM (Sharing Technology for Research, Education, and new Media) & my colleagues & I will join their meeting this afternoon.

Rather than print out resources (this is supposed to be NEW media, after all, right?) I thought I’d just post them here, so here they are – just a small collection of items that I think will contribute to the discussion & the group.
