Networking is a theme often mentioned during these first days of June, especially during the AQPC Symposium. Not only does it reflect the theme of this symposium where the entire Profweb team will be present, it is also a principle that we at Profweb have promoted during our participation in activities and initiatives throughout this year:
From January to June 2011:
- The publication of forty-six new stories and columns in ‘The Quebec College Crossroad for IT Education‘: A story which well expresses this theme is “Confessions of an Early Adopter of Technology“. A column in a similar vein is “Three Great Resources for Getting Started Using Information Technology with your Students.”

The launch of the Profweb album in the CCDMD‘s World of Images: Profweb videos, which sometimes are contributed by members of the IT Network, will now be integrated into this collection of pedagogical media.
