In my work in Silver Spring and Montgomery County, I use 21st century social networking technologies—Facebook, Flickr, Google’s Blogger, and YouTube--to build community, educate and entertain. I’ve included here some links to several good examples of using these technologies to educate about storm water and the protection of the local environment.
