Dear Friends,
The SEMLS 2.0 class provide me with knowledge on many new technologies. It was a valuable learning experience, well worth my time and effort. I would recommend this class to any librarian wanting to learn about Web 2.0. The online format was very conducive to the topics and provided great practice with the technology. As far as the most useful tool, that’s a hard question: all the tools are very useful depending on your needs and specific projects. A very useful tool for me is the bookmarking site del.icio.us. It’s a basic tool that is very easy and helpful on a daily basis at work. Also, I liked learning about blogging. My least favorite application was Facebook, but that’s mostly about security issues and my personal hang-ups about the space.
At the library, I would like to use blogs for library information and book clubs. Also, I would like to have podcast for booktalks and reviews for the students. These technologies would provide an incentive and venue for reluctant readers, but tech savy students to share their reviews and thoughts. In addition, I would like to use some information literacy You tube videos and create an orientation video.
In conclusion, I had a great time doing the assignments and look forward to more classes offered online by SEMLS on new technology.
