Week 13 Step 23 Conslussion

I have had a fabulous time exploring every aspect of 23 Things and learnt so much along the way. My favourite tasks were igoogle, Library Thing, Google maps and Google book search. I guess i have now discovered Google! More interactive learning would be fun.

Week 12 Step 22 Second Life and libraries

I have listened to several podcasts on Second Life. At first i really couldn't see the relevance to libraries but now understand how this application could be an advantage to libraries and teaching. Personally i wouldn't become involved in a second life as i spend too much time in the virtual world outside in the fresh air not in front of a computer.

Week 11 Step 21 Podcasts

There are two types of Podcasts, one through RSS feeds which are audio and the other through Youtube which are visual as well. I have linked my favourite audio.

Week 9 Step 18 Library 2.0

Blah, blah, blah so much reading. One comment stood out for me...

"What we need to do is become comfortable in this reality of constant change.
