Summarize your experiences during the Learning 2.0 Project.


Oh the 2.0 Project...
I loved it! It was fun and cool and I can't wait to get my prize! If Summer Reading has taught me anything, incentives and prizes work! For all ages!

- What was the most important thing that you learned? Using RSS and finding Bloglines.
Why? I have been wanting to read blogs for awhile, but how to find them and then how to keep up with them and Bloglines was the answer to all those questions!

- What was most challenging? The RSS was the most challenging too.
Why? First I didn't understand what it was, but with a little help from Laurie, David and Jenn I got. And then it just hit me and I understood. Now I realize how great it is!

- How can PVLD use these technologies to deliver or improve library services?
Well I already have a storytime blog and I think we should have a Summer Reading Blog and maybe a Myspace page. Keeping on top of technology will help us with our consumer relationships.

- How successful was the “self-directed” learning model? It was great! I loved doing it on my on time, when I felt like it and it was simple to do. I love following directions and I love having a goal, it really inspires me to finish.

Is this a useful way of encouraging staff development? YES! I think we should have a Learning 2.5!

Task 10 - Explore MySpace.com

I already had a Myspace account. I got one a couple of years ago when
there was a buzz around the library about it. And then I never went
back, until now. I updated the pic. I changed it. I used to have a pic
of my puppets, but now it's me. The same me that is on my blog.

So
I finally did the profile and I added a bunch of people! And even this
week one of my old college buddies found me! Which is awesome!

I added some other friends and musicians and people! And now I have more friends!

Come be my friend at My space!

What are the benefits and pitfalls of MySpace.com?
It is a great way to connect, if your info is public anyone can see it.
Beware Identity Theft and more... another draw back is another thing to
check!

Why is Myspace.com so popular? Because you can chat with your friends and have fun and show great pics! It can be an information site too!
