Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki

I have been having a play with Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki and found it a little confusing at first. I have finally got to the editing screen where I need to add my blog name to the bottom but are unable as this page is currently locked by another user, so I will have to try and a little later on.

Well I finally managed to get in and add my blogger name under Brimbank Libraries. I found it a bit of a misson but once I did it, it was pretty straight forward, I think the instructions about putting the brackets around the url caused the main problem because I used the insert url option.

Wiki's

I think I am on a bit of a roll again trying to get thru all of this wonderful information that we are learning.

The next task is Wiki's, from playing around and reading the other comments made about this feature, there are alot of benefits to it but there are also some disadvantages. The one main disadvantage is that they are able to be editted, that is good if the correct information is being put in but not so good if the wrong information is being added or entered as this give people incorrect resources.

Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

I have been reading the information on Library 2.0 and Web 2.0 by the five Librarians. I found it interesting that there were photo's of each of these of these people and that four out of the five were male and only one female. I also found that age range interesting.

All of them were very positive about this new way that the libraries are going and that it is an everchanging environment and that we need to keep with the play or be left behind.

I like the term "Row your library boat into the Web 2.0 environment" by Rick Anderson, as he says we are all rowing pretty heroically but "icebergs" get in our way and threaten our progress. We all have to keep up and not get sunk by these "Icebergs"!!!!!!

More and More on Technorati

Well it is Friday afternoon and I have managed to get the icon on my blog for technorati thanks to a bit of help from Crissy. (Thank you). I can finish the week knowing that I have completed this weeks tasks and are ready to move on to the next challenge that awaits us!!!!

I have just been bitterly disappointed and realised that I have not finished I still have to do the task on Library 2.0 and Web 2.0. I don't have time now but I will try and do it soon.

More Technorati

I have been playing around a bit more with Technorati and have managed to add a link but have not worked out how to add it as an icon yet but I will keep playing and having fun.

Technorati

Well it's been a week since I have posted anything, I have been very busy and having trouble working out this topic. Some of the delay was that I couldn't get on to the site at work to register as I was being blocked by webmarshal. I had to ring IT to get it sorted now I have finally managed to register but are unable to search as am still getting blocked. This slows down the learning process, but thanks to Anthony at IT who was very helpful and unblockeded the site for me.
I have had a play with searching and looking at the other blogs and seeing what people have added as tags. I thought I would have a bit of fun and add this video of Pink's song Dear Mr President.
I did a search on Technorati for Luv2Shop and two results, none of them were mine so I searched my blog name and of course got one result - mine and I was ranked 8,911,336.

More del.icio.us

Well with a bit of persistance and determination I have manged to add websites to this del.icio.us site, I have really enjoyed doing this and can see that there is a lot of benefit and time saving by having them there ready and available.
