Hello and thank you for visiting the Federal Government Blog! I'm looking forward to sharing updates with you about what's going on in government - including training updates and initiatives, local conferences and networking events, news that affects training in the government, and updates about how ASTD is supporting the government.

One topic that appears to be on the minds of many, especially in DoD, is Web 2.0. Take a look a this article by Amber Corrin from Federal Computer Week: http://fcw.com/Articles/2009/08/10/WEEK-DOD-social-media-security.aspx.

In addition to being a hot topic in government, Web 2.0 is also at the top of minds for ASTD. Look to hear more in future blogs about how technology will impact our training offerings.
