Monday Musings

Library 2.0, Web 2.0, and now Learning 2.0 are the buzz words coming at me through library newsletters, teleconferences and workshops over the past months. I don't think there is a simple definition of the terms but my understanding is that we, as librarians, should embrace the multiple interactive communication opportunities through the Internet.

I read my nieces' blogs (I enjoy their thoughts) and use IM and e-mail and have posted pictures on FLickr so I'm getting there. I truly haven't decided if I want to become a blogger. I'm a reader more so than a writer and why blog if my personal musings may only be of interest to me. I'll see where this goes.

Learning 2.0 was mentioned in a NLC blog post by Christa Burns that was reprinted in the SoLiS newsletter. Check out http://plcmc12-things.blogspot.com . I'm hoping after working through the 23 Things exercises, I will have a more practical knowledge of podcasts, RSS feeds, and of more. Lesson 2 is Blogging so here I am.
