Week 3: Exercise 7, Technology

On Friday, I went to an Infopeople's Workshop on Web 2.0. I had signed up to attend months before CSLA came out with their School Library Learning 2.0. It was a great overview of what we will be covering here AND it didn't overlap with what I had already done--created a blog and used Flickr. What I did learn about was del.icio.us and RSS feeds. Although I had heard about del.icio.us at the CSLA Conference last November, I didn't come back and play around with it. Now I know the advantages of it versus Bookmarks/Favorites. I really think I will use del.icio.us. RSS feeds was another Web 2.0 feature that I think I will use. I know that's Week 4's "Thing." So, I am very anxious to get started on that. Joe Barker did the Infopeople workshop and did a good job of giving background information about Web 2.0. A few of us also had lunch with him and he talked to us about nings. I feel I'm really learning the 2.0 language and have a better feel for what our students are using.
