The document summarizes a program called CPA Learning 2.0 that teaches CPAs how to use new Web 2.0 technologies. It discusses how Web 2.0 allows for collaboration and sharing of information online. It encourages CPAs to become "knowledge players" by spending 15 minutes a day exploring blogs, tagging items, creating learning blogs, and playing with new technologies. The free 9-week program teaches skills like blogging, social networking, tagging, and using RSS feeds and podcasts to continually learn and keep up with technological changes. The goal is to help CPAs make sense of a changing world and align with the MACPA's mission of supporting members in a dynamic environment.
