Welcome to my learning 2.0 blog!

I've created this blog so that I can track my learning. Although it is initially set up to follow my learning 2.0 course through SLNSW, I envisage that it will be an online lifelong learning diary.

I have recently been inspired to adapt my workplace to an online environment, and this learning 2.0 course seems ideal. Although I have dabbled very lightly in blogs in the past, I've never really looked at them in depth, or used them to their fullest potential.

I'm excited to learn about web 2.0 and to see the opportunities it will bring. More than just being able to communicate with "kids these days" I really feel there is a future for web 2.0 technology (and beyond) in the library world.

I'd like to congratulate the team at SLNSW for making this course available to all library workers - I think it is a great way to inspire the NSW library world as a whole into a forward-thinking, future proof place to be!

I also think its a great opportunity to be reminded of some of the wonderful things about technology - we so often get bogged down in the reasons why it won't work, or can't work, or shouldn't work, or doesn't work - and that our institutions are places of lifelong learning - so surely we should be lifelong learners too! (I suspect we always have been but it was rarely labelled as such).
