Born Digital 2 - Before and After

While I had heard of these technologies before, I had limited hands on experience with them. So Learning 2.0 was a valuable way to both learn about and play with emerging technologies. The coaching was essential to moving quickly from assignment to assignment.

I understand there are additional lessons which we could customize for part 2 of Learning 2.0 at the King Library. Have you considered this?

Finally, many thanks to the entire committee. Great job!

e-Book and audio e-Books

Learning Spanish has never been so easy. I downloaded conversational Latin American Spanish onto my computer hard drive and now even my computer is multilingual! Adios!

podcast

The experience of podcasting provides 24/7 mobile access to music. Cool, huh. I wonder if I can find Coleman Hawkins in the 'pod sphere'....

YouTube or MyTube

My favorite YouTube example comes from the Allen County Public Library website. An IT professional and a librarian discover that they share a common purpose. ... Now how often do you see that in real life?

yours and mine

Some would say that my books are not of interest to most people. But I find them fascinating! The information I glean from them supports my personal and professional growth, as well as informing my scholarly communications.

google online tools

In one of my campus committee assignments, we are using google.docs. In the strategic planning steering committee, we are using google too. And I have a personal gmail account, which I find very helpful to making connections.

wiki wiki

Wiki wiki, in Hawaiian, means hurry. So imagine my surprise when I discovered the term's wide spread usage as a communication technology. It's popularity - some would say - threatens the traditional scholarly practices of peer reviewed publication. Hmmm ... Something to think about.

Technorati, the Ferrari of the blogosphere

eBoy, oh, eBoy.... Love how you morphed that classic Dali image with the iPods.

It's delicious!

And here, all this time, I thought this was a culinary reference! But, no, it's the latest in social bookmarking. I enjoyed traveling through the word of Del.icio.us and experimenting with various methods of categorization.

Roll your own

The rare book library search was never easier. However, I found that the proper search terms are critically important. Different search terms yielded markedly different results.

And the Web 2.0 award winner is ...

eSnips is cool! It is the digital storage and remote access 'answer' for students who want to use social bookmarking technologies. Tres cool.

Online Image Generator

WOW! The things I can do with some of my pictures! ... We won't go there.






















Library blogs

I enjoyed seeing the variety of perspectives represented in library news feeds, using my blogfeed (learning tool). My favorite discovery is the information literacy blog by Britisher Sheila Webber!

RSS Feed

Access to world news is now easier than ever before. Now, I'm just a click away! I can imagine myself in London, enjoying high tea, as I read my BBC RSS feed content.

Sony Mylo

This hand held device will take the MLK one step closer to becoming a digital library. Now we can search the Web while helping students and communicating with colleagues while roving throughout the building.

Flickr imagination


With the use of Flickr, I was able to create a trading card from some of my travel photos.




Born Digital

As a born digital personality, I love the blog experience! It is an opportunity to share what I have learned to the virtual world. Check it out as I take this trip down the 23 learning highway.
