Library 2.0 Thing 5

In reading about Library 2.0, it needs to be put in layman's terms.

Thing 30

The unexpected outcome for me is that I finished it. There were a couple of spots where I got stuck but I continued the learning. In the future, the exercises could be shortened a bit taking less time away from other projects or assignments that we may have.

I have gained valuable discoveries through the exercises in Learning. Many of the technology in the things I would not have explored had it not been for the Learning.

Thanks Cindy for the new adventure.

Thing 29 Learning Experience

The Learning 2.0 experience was an adventure. My first thought was not to try it but I decided to take the challenge and learn something new. I had fun exploring Rollyo, wiki, podcast, image generator and blogging. Some of this technology such as wiki and podcast I was a little familiar with. It has been a rewarding experience because now I have a better idea of how to use the new technology out there. I have not become a pro from using Learning 2.0 but I am now better familiar with the new technology.

Thing 28 Rollyo

In exploring Rollyo, I think that this would be a good reference source. I see it as a one-stop reference source. I explored books and authors, answer.com, major newspapers and was able to get some valid hits.

Thing 25 Podcasting

I listened to a tour of Hayden Library through the Library Channel. This audio tour was in MP3 format being viewed through the media. I found viewing through the media was bad for the eyes. I did like the fact of listening to the tour. Though Listening and view a video would have been ideal. I was able to do other thing as I listened.
