Subject:	New Media Resources in the works for the Banner V8 Upgrade

PURPOSE: The GeorgiaBEST Support Team is in the process of implementing a 
resource center utilizing a new media repository called edu1world.org.

edu1world.org is a virtual community for education administrative professionals, 
vendors, associations, supporters, and faculty who are interested in and work with 
technology. It is a community where members can connect, collaborate, communicate, 
and access the information they need in order to improve individual performance and 
effectiveness in their work.

Within this community the GeorgiaBEST team has already set up a special social 
networking group just for our users. Here you will find articles, presentations, wikis, 
newsletters, blog posts and much, much more. We hope to encourage more 
community sharing and collaboration in association with the Banner V8 upgrade.

For more information on what a wiki is, watch the short video posted here:

We need your help to really make our edu1world community flourish. If you are 
interested in being a part of a pilot group of users that will have access to this new 
media group of resources please fill out the survey
here:
http://www.surveys.usg.edu/se.ashx?s=06C2C3B975686B07

The survey will be open through close of business on Wednesday, April 15, 2009. We 
will then be sending out personal invitations to join the site.

We are excited to be taking the GeorgiaBEST group into the next generation of new 
media networking and information sharing and we hope that you'll join us in making 
this tool the best it can be. Thanks in advance for your support and participation.
