There is a discussion thread on this at Future of Education (<a href="http://www.futureofeducation.com/forum/topics/web-20-for-education-outreach" target="_blank">http://www.futureofeducation.com/forum/topics/web-20-for-education-outreach</a>), and when the recording is released we'll also have a wiki for larger community participation in gathering resources on this topic. Have a great week!
