Some of the Xicotepec Project’s University of Iowa service-learning contingent met with the IT Services folks today. As has been the custom when the service-learning group gathers, ideas were flying across the table and bouncing off the walls in all directions within a few minutes.

Going into the meeting, no one was really thinking seriously about implementing new IT tools in time for this year’s trip to Xicotepec, but by the end we were excited about the possibility of using blogs to exchange ideas and convey information to/from Xicotepec, as well as an addition to the service-learning toolbox.

It took all of 60 seconds to register at wordpress.com and begin to blog – so the basics are pretty straightforward. We will need a bit of help to consolidate the various student, faculty, rotarian and other Xicotepec-related blogs into a single RSS feed, but the Steve and Kyle from ITS assure us that they can help us get it done.

I can’t wait to see what this all leads to!
