The End


I really enjoyed Web 2.0!! I would have to say my favorite part was the Music sites, however I truely loved many of the subjects. I think most of us are employees of libraries because of our love of learning and this was just another great benefit of working at an awesome library system which offers many opportunities for learning. I was surprised how much this felt like playing rather than requirements. I can't think of any way it could be improved, everyone did a GREAT job in the layout of Web 2.0. I would definately participate in any opportunity for learning more about this ever changing technological world we live in.

Games


Gaming is a great way to teach kids hand-eye coordination but I think some parents don't put enough limits on the time kids spend playing games alone. It takes away from the social skills kids need to learn. On the other hand, its a good way to make learning fun and to just simply pass the time.

Live maps


Interesting, this picture is from Virtual Globetrotting website which gets pictures from satellite maps. Too bad these aren't live shots, so you could peek in on teens home alone. Heh, heh, party at the Wold house!!

Search Engines



Funny how every search engine brings up totally different results. Mamma.com is cool, the searches seemed relevant. The searchme.com website is the coolest with a visual of the pages on the results page, although I don't know about the quality of the results, I really like it!!

Podcasts


I like these new ways of learning. It's amazing how accessible these new ways of learning are!
