What are the aims of this program?
Expose librarians and library staff to Web 2.0 technologies, which are increasingly being used around the world in all business, education and recreational facets of life!
Encourage exploration of Web 2.0 and new technologies by everyone.
Share our discoveries and findings using Web 2.0 technologies in an open and collaborative way. That way everybody benefits.
Basic Concepts
You will do it, not just read about it! The topics listed here are all interactive and require your participation.
There are ‘23 Things’ (or small activities) that you can do on the Web to explore and expand your knowledge of the Internet and Web 2.0. As Stephen Abrams says, “the basic concept … is that people have known for years that making a list of goals is the best way to achieve them. Why is that? First, getting your goals in writing can help you clarify what you really want to do… Learning is incremental and you can grow a little bit at a time and suddenly realize that you’re competent in something new.” (Abrams, 2006) 1.1
The ‘Learning 2.0? program is an opportunity to work together as a community of learners, over a set period of time. Help each other, encourage each other, learn and accomplish together. We will start with an introductory workshop, and then take a few weeks to work through these 23 topics to become familiar and comfortable with 2.0 technologies and opportunities.
These topics are always available to you online, so use them and explore at times that suit you. During the next few weeks you will be able to read, watch or listen, add your opinions, try out new software, and participate in our ‘community of learners’. Participate, enjoy, have FUN!
