Cybrary+-+2012+Bratt.

This is our class Cybrary or Cyber Library for the summer Brattleboro Tech4Educators Classes. Begin by taking a look at the Cybrary for the 2010 classes and the Bennington Cybrary for 2012. See how they used headings to organize the sources? Feel free to re-structure, organize, create headings, re-do headings, and otherwise make this resource work for everyone in our Tech4Educators course.
