ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

As a first time attendee of an ASTC Convention, I had some wonderful 
conversations with members of the Science and Technology Community. During 
the workshop on Web 2.0 and inter-science center communication, I had the 
idea to create a social bookmark website for this community.  Thanks to 
the encouragement of everyone at the St. Louis Science Center and Bryan 
Kennedy from the Science Museum of Minnesota, I created Sciencecentr.org (
http://www.sciencecentr.org) as a design studio project for my MA in 
Instructional Design and Learning Technology. 

Sciencecentr will give members of our community the ability to submit 
links that are relevant to us.  This may include events, science news, 
blogs that discuss the pressing issues of our community, and online videos 
(you can post links to video, but embedding the video will hopefully be up 
soon!).  The links that are the most popular/voted on, will climb up to 
the front page, and links you vote on will be bookmarked in your profile 
for future reference.  Sciencecentr.org is based off of "pligg" which is 
an open source version of Digg. 

As anything that tries to be "Web 2.0" it is free to use and constantly in 
"beta."  ;)  If you see any bugs, e-mail me!  I hope this helps our 
community and I hope everyone participates!
