#23 (it's the end already????)

I really enjoyed the Learning 2.0 program and I'm surprised at how much can be covered in just 23 Things. As I've mentioned throughout my posts I'm not convinced that all these programs will work in libraries at this stage - not all users have the same access to technology, dial-up internet would make a lot of these sites frustrating. But those programs that can be used in libraries will definitely make a difference for both librarians and users.

I hope that others have found this program to be just as rewarding and fun as I have. It has certainly generated a lot of discussions and given us all a chance for professional development within work hours. My favourites have to be image generators, YouTube, Wiki's and the online productivity tools. A surprising discovery was just how connected all these things are. For example when I signed up at YouTube and registered my blog I could automatically post videos with one click or I could tag it using my del.icio.us account. Now when I research on the internet I notice just how many sites have the icon for tagging and blogging sites. With very little effort you can save, sort and share everything.

For me this is just the beginning and I know that I will keep all these tools in mind. A big THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in organising this for us and monitoring the progress.
