Learning 2.0 summary

Learning 2.0 has been a learning experience that I will be referring back to for some time to come. I will definitely update my blog spot with new pictures and posts, and share them with my family and friends who are not as close as I would like them to be.

Due to time, I wasn't able to really get into a lot of the sites as I wanted to, or learn those kewl attaching skills to put podcast/utube/audio books on my blog spot to jazz-up my space. I did discover those sites and found them very entertaining though. My thoughts on this is that: I really would have liked to attend those wed. 9am lab times so that I could have someone help me to understand some of the more complicated aspects of the exercises, thus saving some time trying to figure it out on my own (I'm not as computer savvy as I would like to be). Because of my schedule at the library and at home I couldn't come to those classes. There was a sense of guilt if I neglected my work/home for something that was optional, to my benefit, but optional and voluntary. So I did what I could, and I did appreciate the exposure to something that I would have never done if I heard of it in passing. Thank you to the learning 2.0 committee for bringing this program to our attention and giving us the opportunity to delve into something that was completely new to me, and perhaps others.

Farewell for now!

2.0 awards

Very useful! Yesterday a friend and I used yelp.com to find a restaurant close by. I had not seen the nominees list yet, but know why yelp is there; it's easy to navigate, and very accurate. I browsed through peertrainer, and also a site about cocktails. I love craigslist already, so I'm glad it made the winners circle. Overall, it is a very good list to know about and to just browse through. You never know when you'll be needing the information.

Zoho

Zoho is so Cool! I can't believe I never knew about this. Can you imagine how useful this could be as a resource to those that don't have fancy usb drives, or even Word at home? This is truly revolutionary!

Wiki

Wiki was very easy to comprehend, however I did find it a bit difficult to maneauver. For example when adding myself to the PLCMC Learning 2.0 wiki I had to edit a few times before I could figure out how to make it so that others could view my blogspot. I was relieved when I figured it out though, kinda' like one of those word problems that have you going around in circles, and then when you figure out how it worked, you realize how complicated you made it, because it was easy to begin with. Sometimes we can complicate things that are so easy. Anyways, that's all for now. Have a beautiful day, moring, evening, afternoon, night, sieta, sleep :)

Library 2.0 and the Futuro!

I found the perspectives on Library 2.0 helpful, in the sense that they articulated the purpose for Library 2.0. They answered questions such as: why we need library 2.0: what it means for librarians, and anyone working in the realm of libraries: what benefit it has for our patrons, and other who might be interested. I found the perspective on Librarian 2.0 the most interesting, the other two articles I read seemed a bit foreign. What do I think about Library 2.0. Well, for learning's sake, it was good. Will I use it? I hope so.

Rollyo!

Interesting! unfortunately I don't know that many websites. I'll have to do some more looking around Rollyo, to add to my own "search engine" ;)

LibraryThing Thoughts

"LibraryThing" was not too difficult to figure out. I like knowing that you can tag someone and read the list of books they've also read based on a book you've read (if that makes sense). I hope to continue using "LibraryThing" for every book that I read, and who knows, I might pick up some interesting titles to potential books that I will be reading in the future.
