Well, this is the end of this stage - I am sure there is much more to learn in the future.
I wish I had more time to learn more about the wonderful learning resourses that are available on the Internet. Between work, being a mother and now a grandmother, juggling the time to learn many new internet skills can be challenging indeed. Maybe some day I will find time to sharpen my skills in these areas.
The Learnning 2.0 program has been very interesting. It would have been great if all of the links on the excersises worked and I also would have benefited if the exercises were more presciptive. I found that some trial and error and assistance was needed to accomplish the exercises, but overall it has been a great learning experience.
A friend of mine pointed out that the program was probably called Learning 2.0 because it highlights the new resourses that are available for learning purposes. Learning is what libraries are about and all of the concepts we learnt about, while working on the exercises, are learning resourses. The 'trick' is to make sure that when we introduce something like audiobooks to libraries that we make sure that traditional ways of learning are also avaliable.
It is good that we are able to learn and apply these skills. I am grateful for this learning opportunity and to be part of a team at our Library that caters for everyone. I will definitely make an effort to continue learning and using my newly acquired skills!
