Welcome to Canberra Learning 2.0. If you've found your way here, you're either:
- A member of the ACT Library & Information Service staff who is participating in Learning 2.0, or
- Interested in learning about and playing around (yes, playing is allowed in libraries) with some new web 2.0 tools that will help you expand your information literacy toolbox.
Learning 2.0 is online learning program that encourages staff to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other.
Over the course of the next eight and a half weeks or so, this website will highlight "23 things" and discovery exercises to help you become familiar with blogging, RSS news feeds, tagging, wikis, podcasting, online applications, and video and image hosting sites.
To familiarize yourself with this project, be sure to read the About page. The FAQs should answer most of your questions about this program.
So fasten your seat belts, grab your mouse and get ready for a discovery adventure… and remember, it's OK to play in the library and have fun!
Be sure to check in each week for the latest "things" or discovery items.
P.S. A word about the podcasts throughout Learning 2.0. These were prepared by the creator of Learning 2.0, Helene Blowers, for her library staff. The podcasts will therefore occasionally refer to the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County (PLCMC), but this is nothing to worry about - the information in each podcast will still be relevant and help you as you take the journey through Learning 2.0.
