Summary

I consider myself to be a fairly internet-savvy person. Though I can easily understand things that are on the internet, there are a lot of resources on the internet that I don't know about. This was the main appeal of the Learning 2.0 program for me. It was full of many websites and ideas that I had never heard about, and it was really interesting to explore them. Because I now know that all these resources that are so readily available, I will have many choices of things to do in my future career as a librarian.

It has been great to do these assignments, but I must say that I am really grateful that it was all reduced to one thing a week. It was a bit hard to do the assignments when there were so many things to do. I always felt that it was inevitable that I would miss something.

Thanks for everything that you've done in this class!

Podcasts

The podcast that I listened to talked about the myths that are associated with libraries. They then told what the actual truth is.

One of the myths was that libraries aren't needed anymore because everything is online. The podcast people said that the very existence of libraries shows that this is not true. There are a lot of old materials that have not been transferred online yet, and these things can only be found in their original form.

Online Videos

I found the coolest school library video on youtube! Okay, so maybe not the coolest, but it's kind of funny. I'm really into superheros right now, so it appealed to me.



I also found this video amusing, mostly because it has an ambiguous decade. I mean you've got to love the old computers and the kid with huge glasses. It had a pretty modern feel to it though, so I'm still not sure when it was made. Besdies all of that, I like it because of the inspiring library words and phrases.



Speaking of superheros:

I'm in love with this show. The end.
