This week Joe Sciacca and I are headed to Southern Illinois to facilitate 5 input sessions for the ShLS membership. I am really looking forward to meeting a lot of new people and also getting a chance to go to Metropolis, IL, the home of Superman. The reason all of this is part of the "Working Together" blog is that LTLS and ShLS are sharing expertise in the plan development. Last week we used 2.0 Tools (or Collaboration 2.0) to refine the draft needs statements for the upcoming meetings. ShLS staff posted the needs statements on Googledocs and the LTLS staff reviewed those and made some additions directly on Googledocs. As we continued the process the collaborating partners from ShLS and LTLS worked on the document together and communicating via Instant Messaging to clarify and enhance the document. The best part -- working together; using 2.0 tools, using free tools, and accomplishing a product in less time than in the past. If you haven't tried working together using these marvelous 2.0 tools that are available, I highly recommend it.
