Week 1, Thing #1

I've spent some time reading about and exploring the School Library Learning 2.0 blog. The broad overview presents a self-directed course that provides the learner with sequential steps for exploring Web 2.0 technologies. Being self-directed, it also provides wonderful opportunities for creative self-discovery as a result of its design and emphasis on personal reflection and group commentaries.

As librarians and information specialists in this day and time, mastering current Web 2.0 technologies will certainly lead us to the next generation of emerging technologies once they appear on the horizon. We are, in fact, the perfect role models for lifelong learning because acquiring and dispensing knowledge and information is what we do. And we have fun doing it, too!

Thing #2 will be posted soon.
