**LEARN NC: Your Virtual Assistant** LEARN NC has provided quality resources for teachers and students since 1996. In 2008, the tools, functionality, and resources of the Internet have changed dramatically. Have you kept pace with the way in which the Internet has evolved? This session is more than an awareness of the new LEARN NC website. Instead, we’ll help you to understand how to maximize your time spent locating and collecting quality resources.

You will learn about social bookmarking as well as other new features of the LEARN NC website which facilitate collecting and sharing of resources. In addition, we’ll explore techniques for easily identifying resources to create a new unit of study or to revise something you’ve taught for years that hasn’t kept pace with the current needs of your students. No matter your technological proficiency, and even if you’ve seen LEARN NC before, you’ve never seen it like this. This is not your mother’s website.
