#17 PBWiki

With a bit of trial and error I was able to add my blog URL to plcmlearning wiki. I also added a book review to favourite books. It's pretty straightforward and, with a bit of mucking around, do-able.

"I have just finished the book "Marshmallows for Breakfast" by Dorothy Koomson and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is quite an emotional book but it struck a chord with me".
The above was my very insightful comment on favourite books. I can practically hear the universe say "WHO CARES"

# 16 WIKIS

Very interesting, now I know a bit about Wikis. My son claims "Wikipedia" as his favourite web site and I can see how it has a place in providing collaborative information on any possible topic. My other children keep reminding him to not believe everything as being always correct. ( I think they have added their own misinformation). I can see a place for Wikis in many areas as long as people are aware that because anyone can add their own ideas it is open to misuse.

# 15 Library 2.0

"#Librarians 2.0 plans for their users This librarian bases all planning and proposals for services, materials and outreach on user needs and wants. User-centered libraries breakdown barriers and allow users access wherever they are: home, work, commuting, school, or at the library. This involves users from the get go in planning and launching services based on their needs. This librarian asks what new technologies or new materials users need. This librarian proposes building projects and involves users in designing those places. This librarian does not create policies and procedures that impede users’ access to the library. This librarian tells users how resources and funds will be expended. Decisions and plans are discussed in open forums and comments are answered. This makes the library transparent." Michael Stephens
This guy's ideas reflect my own. I don't really understand a lot of what the others said so it seems a bit frightening. It appears that no sooner will I finally complete my Diploma than anything I may have learnt will be useless, we'll all need to be computer wizzes! I think the future relevance of libraries will be the same as it always has been, i.e find out what users want, cater to their needs and allow input in development and implementation of those ideas.

#14 Technorati
I'm adding this link to technorati because I love netball and was interested to find videos and photos. I suppose it's a good way to pass the time if you have some particular interests. I particularly liked the video of an old Australia v New Zealand match. It is a good way to share items of interest. Good to be able to look at subjects.

#12 Rollyo

I've spent ages trying to find my way around Rollyo. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm not sure what I expect to happen. I've compiled a short list of book stores so we''ll see what happens. Fingers and toes people.

I'm reading this book at the moment and am really enjoying it. It's a pretty sad topic but written with great humour.

#9 Technorati

Found this article in "Technorati". I'm a huge fan of Family Guy so I thought I would put it on my blog. It's not particularly interesting but I don't have much time to go searching for anything else. I am very happy at the ease in which you can post to your blog anything that takes your fancy.
