JETT Workshop
Virginia Tech is hosting a Java Engagement for Teacher Training (JETT) workshop July 21-22, 2004. This page is the main root of the community web site devoted to this workshop and its participants.
This web site is part of a WikiWikiWeb--it allows users to freely create and edit web page content using any Web browser. If you've never used a wiki before, visit our FrontPage for info on getting started.
Participation within this Wiki requires registration, but you can register yourself quickly and painlessly on the UserPreferences page. Anyone can register for free, and you can edit pages as soon as you register. No, you don't need to be a participant in our JETT workshop, either--anyone can access these materials. Some JETT-related pages have access restricted to educators; contact StephenEdwards if you are an educator but cannot access them. If you are attending the workshop, follow the InstructionsForAttendees.
Remember, this is your web site. You can edit or contribute to any of the pages here on this site once you've registered.
