Virtual Public Works

In August, I had the pleasure of presenting at the annual APWA conference. My portion of the presentation covered Web 2.0 tools, and how we can use these in our jobs. I was joined by Jay Socol and James Matney from Texas Engineering Extension and by Kim Smith and John Jainschigg with World2Worlds. For those who attended or anyone else interested in downloading the Powerpoint presentation, you can find it on the Slideshare Web site by clicking the link below:
