This blog has been created as part of staff development activities at Lane Library. We've adapted a program called Learning 2.0 that came to our attention from an article in Wired magazine. The article discussed a cutting-edge program developed for the staff at North Carolina's Charlotte and Mecklenburg Public Library, where staff completed exercises to familiarize themselves with web technologies. The project - also known as 23 Things - is a self-directed program for learning web tools such as creating blogs, wikis, photo sharing, news feeds, and several others.
The goal for this experience is that librarians and staff will become familiar with tools available on the web. It will help to understand what students are involved in and keep us updated on some of the fun and innovative technologies available. The things we learn here may be useful for promoting library services, instruction, or even just knowing what our students and faculty are interested in.
Lane Library's version, called Learning 2.0, is slightly different from the original 23 Things project. Our version of Learning 2.0 eliminates some of the exercises, and streamlines the experience. Participation is not mandatory, but we hope you will be excited about trying out the activities and learning something new. And there will be another reward for completing the list - everyone who finishes will receive a gift certificate.
