Week 9: Podcasts and Audio
Book reviews and introduction to new resources, marketing of new projects and advising of special events could all be useful for our library. We need to meet the market where the people are, and I can see podcasts are the way to reach the teens in particular.

Week 7
I found this one less useful than most units. I enjoyed Sutherland shire library's tag cloud it was very interesing and the designer very talented, but would not have the skills to create such a thing for our library. I joined delicious but can't say I have found a need to go back to it yet. I will say that I am now quite a handy blogger and I know this is because I have to post a blog every week. so I know if I use any of these sites or tools enough I will be proficient with them, too.

Week 8
Slam the boards is a wonderful concept and I would love to be confident enough to have a try, but it takes me so long to get into a site (I need to find where I wrote my password etc etc) I just don't seem to be a 'natural' - yet - for going into sites like this. In my library we have a technology guru who is -her words - addicted to Yahoo answers, and she has great success with already 12 best answers to her credit. she is a 'child of 2.0' and is doing Learning 2.0 for her is like a walk in the park (for me it is like wading through mud ) and she uses the technology all the time. I am still at the point where I use what I have to. But maybe next month I will have a look a slam the boards. :)

Week 6
Videos Online
I would probably not want to put a video on line in my workplace, at least not in the foreseeable future. I still have trouble remembering how to access and post to my blog (!) The videos available to view are interesting,but watching a video on a tiny screen does not appeal to me at all. The only use I have at this time is for information. I have found the videos in this course very helpful and can see videos are the way of the future for how-to instructions and information.
