#23. IS THIS REALLY THE END? OR JUST THE BEGINNING....

Mmmm...It's an interesting question. Ihave to wonder about it myself. It has certainly opened up my eyes to the possibilities of what would be out there in the Future (in Web 2.0)

I have to say my favorite exercises were: (a)My Library Thing & Image Generators.

Image Generators because it's artistic & creative, and is a perfect promotional tool for our library to use on the Website, Flyers and the Television Mult-screen.

(b) My librarything because being a book reader- it interests me to know what other people are reading out there in the world. The book catalogue was a easy way of finding the book you wanted -simply by typing in the title of the book. The author would automatically be found.

This program has made me challenge myself- in trying the new & improved technological tool sites. Before Web 2.0, I was unsure of :-
(1)What a blog was?
(2)How to copy & paste Pictures onto HTML
(3)How to do a RSS Feed
(4)Load music onto Youtube
(5)Create a Rollyo Search Engine etc, etc

or Simply knowing what the terms: Wiki, Delicious, or Techn orati, etc, etc, meant. It has made me realize that you can never stop learning- because new technological sites/tools are coming out all the time.That is what the program has taught me.

And hopefully in the future, most of these sites will be used in our library websites for our Patrons.

In regards on how to improve the program's format or concept. We should link up to Schools,Colleges,Tafes & Universities and maybe do a blog post together, to share our own ideas.

In summing up, I have enjoyed participating in the Web 2.0 Program,Sure I had trouble with my passwords...They have all been challenges to me, but in different ways. But I know that if I didn't do Web 2.0 - I would of missed out on the opportunity of Learning. And the funny part is that I enjoyed the comments that people got from each other.
