I can see so many possibilities with Flickr that I am going to have a lot of fun using its many features.</em><br /><br />How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?<br /><br /><em>I am currently enrolled in the library technician program at Santa Ana College, and am doing an internship at a public library. Because of my Library 2.0 learning, I have been given tasks that I otherwise would not be assigned. I am excited to always be learaning, and now to teach others the skills I have acquired.</em><br /><br />Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? <br /><br /><em>I was surprised at how much is out there, free for the taking! I know this is just the tip of the iceberg, but it's great to get a headstart on it all.</em><br /><br />What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?<br /><br /><em>Not a lot. I thought it was wonderful! I just wish I had done it over the summer. The only reason I didn't is because I forgot. So getting a weekly email reminder from a cheerleader would have helped. I finally figured out how to put a calendar reminder in Outlook once a week, and that helped me this time around.</em><br /><br />If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you choose to participate? <br /><br /><em>Definitely YES! Technology changes so quickly, and who knows how quickly the information I learned through this program becomes outdated?</em><br /><br />How would you describe your learning experience in ONE WORD or in ONE SENTENCE, so we could use your words to promote CSLA learning activities?<br /><em>Incredible learning experience!</em>wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-23296716112056429122008-04-02T21:44:00.000-07:002008-04-02T21:50:18.022-07:00week 9, things 20-22youtube is blocked at school, but I can access it at home. There are some great videos, and I think it is a wonderful tool to share information.<br /><br />I found a great source of podcasts from the SirsiDynix Institute that are very helpful. I forwarded some of the links to my library tech. instructor to share with others that are in the LT program at Santa Ana College.<br /><br />eBooks are great! I use the link from the Orange County Public Library quite often to share with my K-6 students. And of course, the Gutenburg Project is incredible. What a wonderful resource!wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-65832516409651155342008-04-02T21:40:00.000-07:002008-04-02T21:43:51.625-07:00week 8, thing 18Zoho is great, and google writer is like an answer to my prayers! I've created so many documents/flyers etc. and now have a way to share them online, instead of having to email files or use flash drives between work and home.wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-1525054021667325982008-04-02T21:33:00.000-07:002008-04-02T21:40:45.840-07:00week 7, thing 16Wikis are so cool! I am excited to share this technology with some of the teachers, and collaborate on some student research projects. I like the idea of collaborating with others for a collective intelligence.wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-70578699738920793832008-03-18T19:58:00.000-07:002008-03-18T20:02:13.164-07:00week 6, thing #13del.icio.us is awesome, but overwhelming. I'm getting way overwhelmed with all of this technology, and am tempted to give up on library2.0. There is just so much to take in!!! But I tell myself I am just trying to familiarize myself with the various tools, and don't need to become an expert on all of them, or even any of them. I do love knowing what is out there and available to me, in case I ever feel like I have the time to do something more.wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-75504368809186941292008-03-10T17:50:00.000-07:002008-03-10T17:54:34.752-07:00week 5, thing 12I really like the Rollyo activity. I haven't had much time to play around with it, but I see it as a very useful tool to create safe searching for my elementary school students. I had done something similar with Portaportal.com. It's a web-based bookmarking tool, and I created grade level lists of websites for homework help. I see a lot of potential for Rollyo, and plan to implement it onto my website over the summer when I have more free time to explore.wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-2379286328501238782008-02-12T16:27:00.001-08:002008-02-12T16:30:23.418-08:00week 3 thing 7I'm excited to make trading cards for my school library. I recently made a poster with scanned images of the covers of books that have been made into movies, with a statement: "Don't judge a book by its movie". Now, I'm thinking to make trading cards of all the children's books that have been made into movies and give them away like bookmarks. I can hope the kids would get excited to try to collect their favorites!wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410385019032433116.post-14541820941350362252008-02-03T17:04:00.000-08:002008-02-03T17:24:38.634-08:00Week 1, or is it 2?I was so excited when this program was started last summer! My downfall was that I forgot to do it back then! If there was a way to send an email to myself every week to remind me to work on it, then I would have finished it back in August. Now I feel a rush to start again and get everything done by April.<br /><br />I had fun setting up my avatar. I chose two things I love - books and the beach.<br /><br />I can't get the learning contract to show up on my screen. My popup blocker keeps blocking it, even though I have checked for popups to be OK. But I wrote down the 7 1/2 steps and the steps in the learning contract. My goal is to use my blogspot and get rid of my Yahoo web hosting service. Some of the obstacles I face are that I'm forgetful because I have so many things on my mind and I have a hard time prioritizing, so I forget that the learning 2.0 is time sensitive and should move up on my priority list.wblibraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562562627240443754noreply@blogger.com1
