Judith Sotir, Waubonsee College AELC Manager: I've been working with Blogs since 2003, and migrated to Wikis and Podcasts a little later. The AELC was created by the Illinois Community College Board as a Center of Excellence model program in the early 90's (we were known as the ITD Center back then), and the goal has always been to be at the forefront of educational technology and to openly share that knowledge. It's been an interesting journey, and I still manage to get excited when I find those diamonds in the Web. This Blog is dedicated to the teaching professionals who have the inclination but not the time to sort out the good from the not as good. I welcome comments and ideas from the Blogosphere.
