Learning 2.0: Week 12

I am very excited to have completed my final week and I look forward to getting my certificate. It certainly has been a learning experience and I have really enjoyed myself. I will be using quite alot of these programs in the future, especially google docs and you tube.
I think that facebook or my space could provide an opportunity for social networking for our library. I think that staff members could put their photo and profile on the site and invite borrowers to put their profile on and become "friends" of the library. On Facebook people can also share reviews of their favourite books etc.

Learning 2.0: Week 10

Mashups, these can be used for various displays in the library. I must admit that I did have difficulty with this at first, getting my creations from the desktop to my blog, but I think I know what I'm doing now!! ( it has taken me awhile, but I got there without help! )
I think mosiacs would be fantastic to use for displays in the libraries and I think the it would be great if our library could hold a session about mashups for kids and show them what you could do, I think they will love it. It is fun creating your own magazine cover, or ID pass - I think I could do a better job of my magazine cover next time..but at least I know how to do it.
I will have to tell my friends about mashups, some of the things you could make would be fantastic for a kids birthday party!

Learning 2.0: Week 11

This was a very interesting week. I honestly did not know that either program existed. I think they are both a fantastic way to organise, save and share documents. I will certainly be using google docs in the future for my Tafe assignments.
I have written, saved and also shared with NSW State Library a document in google and also Zoho...I hope it worked...

Learning 2.0: Week 9

I have heard of podcasts before but I never really knew much about them. Unfortunately I couldn't access this on my staff computer but I have been able to access this on a private computer. Podcasts could certainly be useful in the library for author talks and book reviews. I'm not too sure that the older generation would be too interested though.
