Week 5/Task 13

2008-07-07T19:46:00.000-07:00

What does Learning 2.0 mean to me? To me it is taking all aspects of our Library as it is today and further enhancing it. Libraries have certainly progressed from a collection of documents/books to a place that "moves with the times". We communicate with our clients is many new and exciting ways already. Undertaking Learning 2.0 has enabled me to have access to these new ways of communicating and given me some insight into where we are going. This task has taken some time over the last weeks, but in total probably only about 1 hour.

Week 5/Task 12

2008-06-19T19:42:00.000-07:00

Have downloaded Skype. This would be a really useful way to communicate. I have found this task reasonably straight forward. I have also added the SKYPE button to my BLOG (fingers, toes and everything else crossed). I know I don't sound too hopeful, but hopefully I can now move onto Week 6. Yey, maybe.... Well not entirely it seems. I have added the SKYPE button, but something seems to be amiss. I may look into if time permits. This activity has taken me about 1 hour.

Get Skype and call me for free.

Week 5/Task 11

2008-06-19T19:19:00.000-07:00

Well, I have completed this task successfully. Took me about an hour. Now onto Task 12.

Week 4/Task 10

2008-06-19T18:07:00.000-07:00

To date I have spent approximately 2 hours attempting Rollyo. I did create an account for myself (several in fact), but was unable even with assistance from my friends to get this to work. I have given up in disgust and decided to move onto week 5. I just can't afford to waste anymore time on this one. I have found this task to be extremely frustrating. Onto Week 5.....

Week 4/Task 9

2008-06-17T19:23:00.001-07:00

Well, that was relatively easy for me. I shall definitely play around with this more in the future when time permits. Took me about half an hour to do this. This is where I found this little one and there are lots and lots more to look through, when time permits. http://www.comicstripgenerator.com

Week 3/Task 6

2008-06-16T18:35:00.000-07:00

Yeeha!!!! Collaboration between Carol and I finally saw a picture of my dream holiday destination appear on my blog. I found this part of the exercise quite time consuming and difficult. I did create a Flickr account and upload photos quite easily, but putting one into my blog proved quite difficult. I think I must be missing something along the way. Anyway, in total it took me about one and a half hours. Now onto week 4.

Week 2/Task 5

2008-06-12T19:41:00.000-07:00

Well I have finally got back to this. I can't get onto Feedster or Syndic8.com at all. It keeps timing out. I have had a look at Technorati and find it difficult to navigate and find things. So have decided to move onto my next challenge. It is certainly frustrating not to be able to get onto the sites that have been suggested, but can't do much about that. Spent about 30 minutes on this tiny bit. No onwards....

Week 2/Task 4

2008-05-19T19:07:00.003-07:00

Now completed! It has taken some time to get this far. Now onto task 5. Let the fun begin.

2008-05-18T17:48:00.000-07:00

Well I have managed to add a few RSS feeds. Took some time, and I didn't want to spend any more time, so just added the first ones that I could find. Can't say I'm all the wiser, but I am now aware of what is needed and how to add a feed. No doubt in time, I shall come across further ones that I would like to add.

2008-05-14T20:27:00.000-07:00

Well I am continuing on from my effort yesterday, and what an effort this has been. Without the help from the wonderful Karin, I wouldn't have been able to add my first RSS feed. Hip, hip, hooray.

Week 2/Task 4

2008-05-13T17:24:00.000-07:00

Well, I have set up the Netvibe, this didn't take long at all, but I am having difficulty subscribing to fellow participants' feeds and the blog. There is just something that I am not getting, but can't fathom it out. So will put aside for now and have another look at this later.

2007-11-22T17:21:00.000-08:00

Well, I must say when I first heard I was to do this I felt a bit overwhelmed as I am very technologically challenged, so much so that I don't even know how to put a DVD into the player and watch it (I have two teenage children to do this for me). I know they wont always be around to help poor old mum out, but I'll face that when I come to it. It has taken me about 45 minutes to get this far today. I am hoping that this is something I can show the kids that I have done and they will say "wow mum you are so clever". I think it will be an interesting form of communication to have and I look forward to learning more each week.
