CEUs and Prizes
You can earn 1.8 CEUs by completing this program.

Also, we will be offering special prizes for all participants who complete the Learning 2.0 Experience as well as have a "grand prize" drawing on Staff Day. Although we had hoped to rollout with pictures of our prizes, we are waiting for final word from Senior Staff who are working with the HCPL Foundation who is supporting this staff learning adventure. We'll be updating everyone by email as soon as the prizes have been approved. (Hint: prizes will support learning 2.0 technology!)

Please contact your liaisons, Irmgarde Brown, Maurice Coleman, or Annette Gaskins if you have questions about this project. Don't forget that we are not the instructors, although we will encouraging you to visit each other's blogs for ideas and help with the technologies. We will be walking through the Learning 2.0 Experience with you.
