Goals• Stimulate our thinking about ways we might use technology
to effectively and efficiently enhance professional development, performance support, dissemination, technical assistance, collaboration, and strategic communication activities.
• Ask key questions to determine which applications to use for specific audiences;
• Decide which applications to consider using for specific purposes;
• Know how and where to search for information related to using new applications; and
• Plan how to learn the use of new applications.
Survey Results
Context is not important.
Context is everything.

How much digital stuff are we producing?
16
■ If every image made and every word written from the earliest moments of civilization to the year 2003 were converted to digital information, the total would come to five exabytes.
■ An exabyte is one quintillion bytes, one billion gigabytes…a one with eighteen zeros following it
■ That means: 5,000,000,000,000,000,000■ From 2003 to 2010: we created five exabytes of digital
information every two days■ By 2013 we will be creating five exabytes every ten minutes■ The total of 912 exabytes for 1020 is the equivalent of 18 times
the amount of information contained in all the books ever written.
