All in Together – Learning 2.0 for School Librarians and the rest of us

Posted July 18th 2008 @ 8:40 am by

The School Library Journal in the US is running a “Learning 2.0 / 23 Things” program for …well…school librarians all over the world… All Together Now: A Learning 2.0 Experience . It is being led by Dr Michael Stephens , who has a knack for simplifying the complex in a way that inspires you to want to go out and try it.

The aim is to introduce people to a series of “Web2.0″ technologies using a series of self paced exercises, with reflexive learning by blogging about it. The advantage of doing the SLJ program is that librarians all over the world will be doing it at the same time, and that a community of learners will be created.

There are just 12 topics, starting on 21st July:

Blogs
Podcasts
RSS
Wikis
Flickr
Web Toys
Web 2.0 & Library 2.0
Social Networking Sites
Video Sites
Twitter
Tagging
Google Apps

It’s usually terrific fun and worth having a look at. If you are unsure about whether you can fit it in, check out these tips for 10 Ways to Find Time for 23 Things – including thinking about the implications if you don’t understand these tools and committing to the program just a week at a time .

    What a wonderful tool for everyone, not just librarians. Thanks you so much for this blog. I learned a great deal from it and will come back often to see what else I can learn.
    Thanks again,
    Michele
