As I am reviewing my bloglines feeds, I found one which basically reiterated this assignment. It included documentation on how to use blogger, how to create a wiki, etc. This is all part of the Library 2.0 movement. E-Resourcing the Curriculum, School Library 2.0, it makes me realize how important learning as much about these different programs is for my future.
I also realized my feeds are mainly just links to pages and are not updated very often so I subscribed to another one today. So now I am subscribed to The Shifted Librarian, but most of the posts seem to be Tweets. I don't think I want to get on Twitter. Do I not spend enough time online as it is? Well after clicking around a little, I got to the actual shiftedlibrarian site and was able to see the blog posts and subscribed to that instead.
This led me to an interesting video on how computers were able to make 3D simulations of ancient cities using photos found on websites such as flickr. The visual society we are today makes it imperative that Library 2.0 is embraced. It scares me in a way. How long will books last? People are now downloading books to their phone or kindle to read. I still prefer to read something that has pages(made of paper) which you turn to get the rest of the story.
