I really enjoyed this opportunity to learn about Web 2.0. Until a month ago it was all a mystery. I wanted to learn about what our students are all talking about and I have! I think the most important aha I came away with is that while one must be aware of the risks of giving out too much information this is a viable method of communicating, dialoging and sharing of information on the web.
What was most challenging and why?
Just a couple of technical glitches slowed me down really. I appreciated the idea Library Lady of using the same password as much as possible, thanks for that! It would have been very confusing without that help. I found I now need time to read other people's blogs because I didn't have time for that. I also would like to delve deeper into the various applications because I didn't have time for that either! So, time as always the biggest challenge!
Would I like to see the library use Web 2.0 technologies to improve library services?
I don't think I can wrap my head around that much yet but I would possibly see opportunities for on-line book club comments from BPL patrons (sorry if that is available already and I don't know about it). Would like to know more about e-books and audio e-books. Would love to know if BPL has a newsletter service which would send out a monthly best seller list for Adult and Children's books.
How successful was the self directed model?
For me this was a great choice for learning. I like taking my own time and choice of time to complete. Thanks for the option of tutorials you offered if needed at the BPL that kept everyone in the loop and provided support. I think the only suggestion would be to have maybe a couple of weeks added on to the end of the course to respond more to other people's blog entries. Thanks for this great opportunity! I will surely suggest it to others and at $5 what a bargain!
