About Baker’s Dozen
Web 2.0 refers to an online trend that embraces community, collaboration, and creativity.
(This 5-minute video captures the essence and spirit of all things Web 2.0.)
In turn, Baker’s Dozen is an AHML-sponsored initiative to inform the public about Web 2.0 resources.
You may have seen the phrase “social networking,” along with mention of sites such as MySpace and FaceBook. Do you watch or even upload videos to YouTube? Do you read blogs and subscribe to RSS feeds? Maybe you’ve added some photos to Flickr. All of the aforementioned sites are part of the Web 2.0 craze.
Please join AHML for the next year and 1 month for a Baker’s Dozen; each month this series will highlight a Web 2.0 topic and tool as well as feature a brief assignment (designed to take no more than a few minutes).
Most lessons will require that you create a free account on a specific website; AHML recommends that you use the same (or, at least similar) username and password for each. You can always change them at a later date!
