Week 9 : Wrap Up

Welcome to the last installment of the WCPL Learning 2.0 program. In this week's Thing, we want to hear your thoughts about Web 2.0.

#13 What have we learned and where can we go?

If you didn't have a chance to complete every week, don't worry! This blog will remain available so that you can go back to the Things you missed. And if you're using Bloglines or some other RSS reader to follow WCPL Learning 2.0, don't unsubscribe now! There may be future updates here.

If you would like to continue your exploration of Web 2.0, you might want to take a look at and maybe even subscribe to Charlotte's Learning 2.1 blog. They're now up to 53 Things! Rather than a structured, week-by-week program, they now periodically post web 2.0 sites of interest. Recent entries have included: LitLovers, Libraries and the social web, and Mini-blogging.

Thanks so much for participating in Learning 2.0! We encourage you to continue your quest for lifelong learning!

Week 8: Wikis

Thanks for checking in for another installment of Learning 2.0 - you're almost to the end! This week we're going to take a look at wikis. You may be familiar with Wikipedia already, but do you really know what a wiki is? After this week you will!

#12 Discover wikis

Next week we'll wrap things up here at Learning 2.0.

Week 7: Video and Podcasts

Welcome back to Learning 2.0. This week we're going to look at two different technologies: video sharing and podcasts. Many of you may already be familiar with YouTube and it's vast collection of videos; if not, you're about to learn! "Podcast" is more likely to be an unfamiliar term, but it's definitely an important one to learn about because WCPL already offers podcasts for patrons!

This week there are two things to do. We hope you enjoy them!

#10 Discover video sharing with YouTube

#11 Learn about podcasts


Check back next week for one more technology: wikis. The week after that we'll be wrapping up Learning 2.0.


Thanks to Kathleen @ ERL for providing the video sharing content.
