And I like the fact that we could work at our own pace, and really individualize our blogs. There really were no right or wrong answers so the "grade factor" was never a part of the process.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I believe participating in Learning 2.0 makes us more cognizant of the fact that we are all lifelong learners and how important it is to stay open to that idea.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Some of my favorites exercises: youtube!, flickr, eaudio, even podcasts</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Help was readily available from fellow employees and the infamous advocates.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Perhaps it would help to recognize that each application will require new sign-in identities and passwords and to keep it as simple and consistent as possible.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yes, I 'd love to have similar training opportunites and would welcome the chance to participate.</span> I'd love to see training for the use of digital cameras and downloading digital pictures.<br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I would skip the technorati exerise; too complex for my needs.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I would encourage everyone to use librarything and the podcasts too. I could see podcasts being used in a very practical way for library pages. Certainly as a way to present FAQs and promote events.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Thanks for giving us this opportunity to try a lot of new things! and of course the mp3 player was a great incentive!</span></strong></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616048920116512925.post-63638939818371254832007-05-08T12:57:00.000-07:002007-05-08T13:02:07.597-07:00eaudio<span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#6633ff;"><strong>Yippee!
