Library 2.0

It's been almost a week since I started reading up on and watching some internet video on Library 2.0 (or Web 2.0) and I am finally getting to write some responses on what I learned or had affirmed. I know that Mr. Abram says if we believe something is important, we'll make time but I know for myself, sometimes working in a media center with six 50-minute scheduled classes a day, I do a little bit of triage. That is, what exactly do I need for tomorrow? And learning for the future usually falls a little bit below the necessities for my classes the next day. So, I'm glad I'm doing this during the summer. Reading last week was amazing in that before I knew it, I had visited more websites, (directed by the ones I was on) and I found that over two hours had gone by! I ended up viewing a couple of David Wesch (sp? - now I'm a little fuzzy on the name) videos on using technology with today's college kids. While I am in the elementary media center, I still found it interesting to see an actual application on how technology can be integrated into curriculum and how it can make the curriculum more collaborative.

I'm looking forward to expanding my horizons and learning more about how technology can be integrated into my classroom/media center.

It is a little overwhelming learning all this, and sometimes when you get so into it you may find yourself using 2 hours of your time. But, I think it's worth it and you may find some really great tools!

So, keep going! If you have any questions, let me know!
