**Discussions, Community Building, & Resource Sharing**
We have partnered with [|GlobalKids] and the [|RezEd] community to provide a web-based space for discussion and resource sharing as we approach the conference, and we encourage you to join our group there at [|http://www.rezed.org/group /sledcc2008].

**Twitter**
SLEDcc will have a live twitter stream! We will also likely tweet updates and useful information about the conference planning in the months leading up to the conference. Follow us at http://twitter.com/sledcc and we'll follow back! (Seeing who follows the SLEDcc Twitter account is a great way to add to your own Twitter network, too!)

What is Twitter? It's kind of hard to describe, but you can think of it as a cross between micro-blogging, group instant messaging, and SMS alert system if you choose to set it up that way. Read the full [|Wikipedia entry for Twitter] for more information.

**Sharing Photos**
Photos, images, and graphics related to SLEDcc will be hosted on Flickr. Please join the SLEDcc 2008 Flickr group at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/sledcc08/
