A useful tutorial to introduce a variety of Web 2.0 technologies contains a very useful list of 23 tasks to introduce blogs, rss feeds, etc. The aim of the tutorial is not to produce experts, but to familiarize the users with each technology and is designed to accommodate people who are not completely tech savvy. This tutorial was originally designed for staff at public libraries so that they may better assist the general public. There are several Discovery Exercises I’ll be using to catch up on technologies I’m not familiar with.

As a bonus, the tutorial designer lists her best practices for learning, which are well worth reading.
