17# Adding blog to learning 2.0 sandbox

Done, I've got nothing more for this ome!

16# wikis

I have used wikipeadia alot in helping my 13 yrld with his school projects and am embarrassed to say I was unaware the entries can be posted by anyone and edited by anyone so from now on I will be more guarded about using this information, unquestioned and will caution my son also.
The obvious ways we could use wiki's in the library would be to set up one for book reviews, so patrons can share their thoughts on books the've read (staff too) . Perhaps one could be set up for community news and events, but I don,t like the idea of people being nasty and underhand and possibly posting hurtful or untrue information (sob, sob, weep, weep) So who, if anyone monitors the wiki or is that not in the true wiki spirit of things?

15# web 2.0, library 2.0 & future of libraries

I get completely overwhelmed at the whole imformation revolution and feel like I would have been much better suited to working in a library in say 1960!!!!!! You know I'm the person who still thinks it's cool to surf the web and I realise most 8yr olds are already way past this level, uploading songs to their i-pods, organising frequently visited sites into favourties, creating images on calendars for Grandma etc. I'm not sure how I can possibly keep up and be a relevant library officer, providing guidance and passing all this new information onto patrons when I'm not using any of it in my daily life. I got quite depressed reading about the future of libraries as being one big technological rollercoaster............I long for the quiet solitude, cup of coffee, good engaging stories in a book that Wendy Shultz talked about. I'll meet her there in that library when we all go full circle....or is that mad?

14# Technorati

Well I guess for people who are really into their blogs and think they have something great to offer everyone else else then great! GO FOR IT! But as for me. I wont be listing my blog for general consumption. I guess if you were looking for blogs on specific topics it would be useful

13# Tagging etc

Ok I really like the delicious idea and I will be able to use this as it's just so darn simple to use! I have set up my buttons and will be ready to tag any sites I visit that I like and it wont matter what computer I am using as it will automatically be saved to my del.cio.us account..........I hope! Is that right? If so cool....................

12# rollyo

For people who are on the computer alot searching for stuff they're interested in I can see how these tools are a godsend, however I so infrequently ever use the computer to do anything other than look for the occasional recipie or check my e-mail that all these tools and their potential are lost on me! However I guess that if in the future by some miricle I begin to use my computer more it's mice to know I will at least in the dark. dim, recesses of my mind be able to acess this info and put it all to good use. I have been getting into designing quilts lately and have started to research more about it's history so there may be a possibilty to set up a rollyo for sites that will help me with my research>

11# Library Thing

Righto. I listed the books in my library thingo here is the link to it http://www.librarything.com/catalog/whenpigs_fly. This would be useful for someone like me who totally forgets what I've read to try to keep a record, but actually sitting at the computer to record this data just isn't second nature to me............I wish it was
