The Joys of Learning

It is time to really get into gear. We are up and running with our new (to us) Follett Destiny Automation System. This week I will be presenting the online catalog (OPAC) to the students in the school computer lab. Hopefully everything will work, I always need a back-up plan in case the server is down for any particular class. It always feels that I write two lessons for each week that is scheduled for the lab.

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.
