It's over....

Well I have finished my Learning 2.0. :-(


I liked it, though I did find it a bit time consuming...I did most of the lessons at work and then would blog about them later from home...which is why my posts are usually short and talk about several lessons together...


Though I may not use a lot of these things very often, it is good to know where they are and how to use them. I didn't know much about podcasting and I have been told that I have a "great voice for radio" so maybe in the future I will look into it... :-)

AND after my rant about wiki's I have changed my mind...I am using PBwiki to organise my church concert for next year, as well as having info about the concert we had this year with links to a few clips on youtube. At the moment it is just me who is able to edit the page but I will probably give the password out to the other production team members...I just need to relax my control a little...which is very hard for me... :-P

It's nearly over... :-(

So I have nearly reached the end of my Learning 2.0.

#21 Podcasts - I probably won't make any...I did think that maybe I could do storytime podcasts but it is probably already being done AND then there are all the copyright regulations that probably apply that I can't be bothered looking up...Christian would know of the top of his head so maybe I will ask him...

#22 Audiobooks - Great idea but I don't have an ipod yet to download them to. I didn't like the layout of the World ebook fair website, I found it messy and difficult to follow...but that's just me.

#20 YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay this week we got to play with *coughs* I mean study, one of my favourite websites...YOUTUBE!!!!!!!

I love this site...I can spend hours on there because one clip always leads me to another and then another... I have been a member for nearly 11 months, CLICK HERE to see my user page. I have added one clip which has been watch 614 times and has 3 comments.

#17 and #18...can't think of a better title for this post.

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I now have way too many user names and passwords!!! I can't remember them all, I need to create a website like del.icio.us or bloglines where people can login with one username and password and be able to access all their saved sites at once!!! Or is there a site like that already out there??? Primrose has been using a notebook to write them in but then she has to cart it round with her. I joined Zoho so I suppose I can create a document and write them all in it but it would be easier to have a site where you could just sign in and click on a site you have saved and it would take you straight in...however I suppose if someone hacked into your account then they would have access to all your accounts...hmmm.

For my "discovering web 2.0 tools" I joined Last.FM I tried to go into PANDORA but it knew I was from Australia and due to licensing constraints it was restricted to the USA only... Last.FM was the next one listed on SEOmoz's web 2.0 awards for music so I joined them instead. I haven't had a big play with Last.FM yet so I am not sure of all the the site can do and wikipedia will be able to explain it much better than me anyway. I was very happy to find some songs from my friend's old band "The Kissingers" and I was able to add them to my playlist and listen to them online. His new band "The Sugarfree Masons" has a profile but don't seem to have any music uploaded, I'm not exactly sure what that means. I haven't downloaded the software that goes with the site (because I am at work) so it can't scrobble my computer yet but I will download it to my home computer when I get home tonight...hopefully I will be able to remember my username and password...

Libraries, wikis and venting...

I am only going to do a quick post and just mention a few things I have looked at in Learning 2.0.

Library 2.0...I know it is all about making it easier for the users and keeping up with all the other libraries but if we all band together and stop now then maybe the users will never know what they are missing. ;-)

I love technology and I love libraries but the libraries I love are quiet and structured which brings me to another thing I'm not sure I like...tagging...it is so....I can't find the words...I guess I feel like there might be stuff out there that I could be missing out on because I might tag something differently from someone else. I guess it is different if I am using del.icio.us just for myself but then I have to remember which tag I used the last time I was on a similiar website. What if in the future libraries start letting users tag items instead of using something like LC subject headings then everything will be all over the place, and I can't have that...I must have order!!!!

Another thing I am not sure I like is wiki's, yes they are great for sharing info but what if you do a ton of research on a topic and then someone who thinks they know more than you comes along and deletes it all?!?!?!?!? I would be extemely upset about that I think, plus anyone can put anything on there without having evidence...

If you have read my first post then you know that I am studying to be a librarian. And if you haven't read my first post but you read the first sentence of this post then you also know.

You may also have noticed that I have changed the title of my blog.

I am currently in the middle of completing my last assignment for this semester. I am designing a brochure about best recordkeeping practices in an organisation (riveting stuff I know). Anyway I have been looking at a lot of books and websites for ideas and now that I have found del.icio.us I can bookmark all the sites I have been to so I can go back later and add them to my bibliography. Yaaaayyyyyy!!!! This saves space in my favourites folder and it doesn't matter if I am at home or at work doing my homework during my lunch break I can still login and access them. So I have decided that I really like del.icio.us.
