The Shoreline CC Library, Technology and is offering Technology Moments: 30 minute informal talks about technologies from Web 2.0 and beyond. Technology can help you manage the information overload in your teaching and everyday life. We will talk about cutting-edge technologies and services that are getting buzz. Some of these technologies will have longevity and some will fizzle. Decide for yourself! Please join us in the library classroom, room 4214, as staff and faculty from the Library, eLearning, Media and TSS and other Shoreline faculty talk about these cutting-edge, practical technologies. Faculty and staff are all welcome!
