Who needs chairs!


It's never too soon or too late for learning

HOWDY ALL! Y E
I hope that i learn a lot from this program like exploring the emerging technologies on the Internet that are evolving the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other, I think this program is an excellent idea and i am very excited to be given the opportunity to embark on this journey of discovery!
Although i am pretty cluey about the Internet and can handle most websites, e-mails and other online things I have not used ANY of the resources that we will be learning about! So I'm very eager to learn!

I think the concept of Life long Learning is fantastic! Its good to learn different things as we all grow up otherwise we get stuck in a rut and nothing new or exciting happens, you also get to keep up to date with current and ever changing technologies which i think is wonderful! You also learn skills for life! and its much easier in this day and age to have a knowledge of the Internet and modern technologies it helps you keep in touch - after all I don't think I've used my land line for months e-mail is free!

I haven't looked at any other blogs as of yet if anybody knows good ones do tell!, I'm still exploring this website, though I have seen blogs on myspace these are a lot more formal and informative, I am looking at somebodies blog page now and it has pictures and a different background! I'm excited to learn how to modify my page so it looks a bit more how i would like it to look! I tried uploading a new background but it failed....i;ll try again and again until it works ha ha!

I can see a MAJOR use for blogs in the library system, it can be the missing link between staff and patrons, making the whole library service more friendly, it would also give a chance for patrons to show there interest and give feedback on current issues!! Also it would bring in a lot of younger patrons which would be FANTASTIC! because the library needs teenagers ha ha it would expand the libraries horizons and invite people to be a part of the bigger picture!

YEE HAA!!! h

Another Day Another E-mail

Amongst other things like plastic cards in my wallet I seem to be collecting my own e-mails I know have 8!!!
2 for hotmail
2 for yahoo
1 westnet
1 Myspace
1 Facebook

AND NOW 1 G-Mail

AHHH I don’t know how Im going to cope with all this, I cant get rid of any because they all have a different purpose like some are personal some are work some are overseas contacts the list goes on!
It would be great to combine them all but it just wouldn’t work!

But this learning 2.0 looks excellent; I haven’t used any of the specific programs that are on here so it looks like I’ll be learning a lot YAY! Hopefully it wont be to challenging and I can just cruse along at my own pace – goodie!

Im on lunch break at the moment and just went home for my hour – toast and a cup of extra strength tea (yummo) The weather is horrible though, all wind and rain, I’ve felt like I’ve had NO summer at all! I’ve been to the beach ONCE! I bought a new pair of swimmers and I have used them ONCE! What a waste! I hope that winter is bright and summer, because summer was raining and cold!

Any who I have to go back to workies now
