Following the example set forth by TSLA in adapting this program, this blog is part of HRRL's Learning 2.0 project to encourage staff to experiment and learn about the new and emerging technologies that are reshaping the context of information on the Internet today.
The objectives of this program are to:
Encourage exploration of Web 2.0 and new technologies by HRRL staff and member libraries.
Provide staff with new tools (that are freely available on the Internet).
Reward staff for taking the initiative to complete 22 self-discovery exercises.
The Learning 2.0 program was adapted from the originally designed program by Helene Blowers, Public Library of Charlotte Mecklenburg County Technology Director, with the support and assitance of several staff and is loosely based upon Stephen Abram's article, 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006) and the website 43Things.
The design of this online program was completely built on Web 2.0 technologies that are freely available on the Internet. These sites include: Blogger, Flickr, Odeo, YouTube, PBWiki & Bloglines.
