Boy this Learning 2.0 is making me very aware of how technology deficient I am. Prior to this experience I had no idea that things such as those we are exploring even existed. Over the last few years many new products and services have come onto the marketplace. For example, Blogs (1995), RSS (1999), Myspace (2003), Flickr (2004), and Librarything (2005). The good thing is that I'm being brought closer to the future as a result of Learning 2.0.
Why just today I signed up for myspace and found a few friends. i also found out about and signed up for a couple of technology related Blogs so that I might not fall so far behind again. :-).

Week 4 (Continued)
Week Three - Photos & Images
Flickr was certainly new to me but I think it is great because I always wanted a site where I could publish my photos of London and have my friends and relatives have easy access.
Flickr Mashups are yet to be explored.

I Can't believe we're on week 4
WOW ! It's been 4 weeks since I started Learning 2.0.
This week is a catch up week for me because although I have been actively reading through the stuff and looking at things like Flickr and posting some pictures on it I haven't been blogging about it. I understand from my friend Karen that that's what I was supposed to do. Oh Well here goes.
Week One - Finding out about the program started for me months ago when I attended the library program where the concept was introduced. Then in April, my colleague at Forest Hills Karen Keys mentioned that we would be running the program at Queens. As I said then and I'll repeat now I think it is a great program and will not only lead to more knowledgeable staff but also increase the camaraderie among them. I think it has done both.
As one who has always been interested in lifelong learning I found the concept of a LEARNING CONTRACT interesting and useful. The idea of thinking about the obstacles one might encounter and thinking of methods of overcoming these obstacles.
Week Two - Setting up the Blog & Registering it.
This was relatively easy with a little help from my friends.
