The conference sessions were really good, but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the new technology and exciting thigs that can be done with learners. However my knowledge of how all this works is very limited. How can I get on board and get together with teacher librarians who feel the same?
Where do I begin???

I want to learn all the new IT jargon.
