#15 Week 6

Well I read most of the articles listed, and I am glad to have a (very!) basic idea of what Library 2.0 is all about. Technology is great, in fact it's pretty darned amazing! I think the interaction and communication between 2.0 users is way cool - it beats the daylights out of sitting in front of a computer and just reading what someone else wrote. To be able to comment, or edit, or create content is empowering. I am just not seeing much of a purpose for a lot of the new technologies in an elementary library setting. Maybe that's just because the staff at my school is older and not technologically literate. (Half of the staff cannot handle using a new email program for crying out loud!) And I am only willing to do so much as a part-time library technician...

Have you seen those purple bracelets? I'll change my to the other wrist now. :}

I, too, search Technorati for School Library Learning 2.0 and got 1600 + hits, but went back and put quotation marks around my search terms, "School Library Learning 2.0", and got a much more manageable 201 blog posts - mostly about Thing #14. I found 14 blogs using "School Library Learning 2.0," and 45 photos, but I don't see where to search tags! In the advance search - duh. Found the same stuff again.

I can see where tagging articles, etc., would help the web live community develop networks of information on specific topics. I think I don't have the time for it right now. As with so many of these new web tools, they are very time consuming to start with.

I am hoping to take just a few web tools from School Library Learning 2.0 that I can put to use.

#13 Week 6

I have had a delicious account since shortly after the 2006 CSLA conference where I attended a session by Allison Steinberg about Web 2.0. I really like having access to my bookmarks from any computer. This, too, is an overwhelming amount of information to manage! I really liked The Several Habits of Wildly Successful Delicious Users - VERY useful information about using delicious in a nutshell.

I can see a huge potential for researching some current or cutting edge topics, but that is not on my radar at this point. I am working on my new role as Secretary for our School Site Council, and I did not find anything about site councils in delicious!

Time to review the CSLA Toolkit...
