Thing 2 - Web 2.0

"...an exciting new era in modern librarianship" (john blyberg). Thus far I've had limited interaction with the Web 2.0 technologies (blogs, wikis, social networking sites). I know there is a need to know about these things as this is where communication is going or at least branching out into.

I need to start figuring out how I can incorporate the stuff I'm learning here into a school library media center. It would be fun to attempt to use some of these tools with a school media website. Many of the schools in my area do not have their own media center websites. Hopefully, wherever I end up, the principal will let me create a media center website if there already isn't one in place.

Thing 1 - Getting Started

Yes, Thing 1 completed! I've heard about avatars and always wondered where people got them from. I think when I have some more time I'm going to change that up a bit and maybe create one using a real-life picture of myself.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with the blog format and completing the rest of the Things
