Week 9, Thing 20



I posted this video because it states so well what we are about in library 2.0.


Like so many others, I have just spent way too much time on Youtube. One thing I found which totally surprised me was a video of my son (an adult) doing an ASL presentation, no narration or translation so I do not know what it is about. I'll ask him the next time we talk. Youtube has all the good and the bad of web 2.0 applications. The good, everyone can do "their thing". The bad, everyone can do "their thing." We just need to learn to use the good and contribute and teach our students how to evaluate and avoid the bad. This is over simplified I know but you get the point.
