Learning 2.0 Final Post

End of the program - what did I learn.

Lesson 1 - make sure in future to put the training times into my calendar to avoid being double booked - my poor excuse for not showing up to the training sessions.

Lesson 2 - luckily the Web 2.0 stuff is pretty easy to use, would explain why they are so popular.

Lesson 3 - just seeing how many photos are uploaded on Flickr is astounding, this is where the people are at - how can we best tap into this. Is Flickr Commons the answer? Do people click through from Flickr Commons to the institution and then browse further?

Flickr

So many images to choose from - how to decide which one to post to my blog. Decision made - this is where I would like to be right now....

#8 - Tags, Del.icio.us and Library Thing

These things are fun but I think they have probably had their moment of glory a while back.

Our Del.icio.us account for SLV chat is a real life saver at times.

Library Thing is great if you are the kind of person that feels the need to catalogue your book collection - not my idea of an interesting way to spend my time. I don't know if with our new Search interface we really need Library Thing as we will be allowing clients to tag and review collection items.

RSS #5

RSS Feeds - where to stop the feast - I could subscribe to so many things and totally submerge myself in trivial news and updates - the trick I guess is to limit yourself to what you can use most effectively.

Wikis and Online Applications #2

I have to say that wikis don't really do much for me although I can see that they can be useful for certain things.

I am a big fan of Google Docs. Not having Microsoft Office at home I use Google Docs all the time - yep its sad but I work on stuff at home. I also find it very useful when I'm on the desk and it's not so busy I can still work on reports and things.

Not the most exciting of things but it makes life a little easier.

First Post

Well - launching myself into the brave new world of Learning 2.0 with my first blog post. Hoping that I will have time to jazz it up a little and get rid of some of the pink. Lacking coffee so creativity is at an all time low. No more training sessions at 9am please.
