Week 10: #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

Favorite Discoveries:
My favorite exercise include Flickr, Bubblr, avatars, Del-icio-us, Taging and Bloglines.

Lifelong Learning Goals:
Learning web 2.0 was so much fun that it never seem that we are doing any exercises. It was also amazing how useful the technology is in modern life.
In two months what we learned and understood will help us in doing our job in a better way and it will also help us realized that the patrons that we are dealing with are not standing on the other side of the mountain.

Unexpected Outcome:
All the modern technology that help us, our kids, and our scientist could turn into a monster if not used properly. Just like driving, breaking laws of these technologies can put a person in a big trouble! such as privacy policies, internet bullies or other kind of harmful outcomes so that where comes the safe internet policies that we all need to teach to our new generation.

Other web 2.0 applications:
I think soon we will have web 3.0!

Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media

This is a wonderful technology to have our books get download on a small device but the part that I didn't like is that there aren't enough titles available for downloading it is just like putting a request for a popular movie and wait for it for a long time. It could get better if HCPL put the downloadable book or dvd or cd at the same time as the regular collection material so it will be easier for the patrons to enjoy their books either in text form or either on a device, it will also eliminate the time and requests on popular items.

Week 9: #21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

Podcasts are very useful for all kinds of learning materials and of course learners, for example if a student can't learn from a book he could learn it by listening to it as we know that different people have different learning styles.

Week 9: #20 Discover YouTube and other video sharing sites

Week 8: #18 Social Networking: Making friends in the comfort of your own home

Two years ago I was searching on a book on google and found that book's review on a social networking site which later became my favorite site to get ideas from cooking to technology.
There are thousands of these sites but most popular are facebook, my space ,orkut, ning and linkedin. They are equally popular among us more or less. I personally like Orkut because I can be in touch of my friends and family at the same time.We can share our wisdom and ideas and of course fun.

Week 7: #17 Blog About Technology

Technology and specially information technology has changed almost everyone's lifestyle weather it could be online banking or watching tv online or having chit chat with friends, everyone is using it one way or other. IT is helping us a lot in many ways in Education, Businesses, Medicines and in our daily lives.

Week 7: #16 So what's in a wiki?

So what's not in a wiki! yes because it has got all kind of new information round the c lock. As a library worker new information on our related fields is a must because we need to provide the best service to our customers.Wikies can help us in many ways to improve our skills.

Week 6: #15 On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

Library 2.0 is stepping into the future and before you know it will be past and we will be in Library 4.0 or 7.0 since our technology is moving so rapidly it's hard to believe that soon we are going to serve 3D images of our patrons on the web, yes just wait and see......

Week 6: #14 Getting not-so-technical with Technorati

In the beginning I couldn't get to understand this tool but after playing around it I actually started to like it. Technorati could help the library workers search for their patrons' needs. It was also fun to claim the blog on Technorati. Searching in keywords or in tag search were kind of close but in blog search it was different (at least for me)

Week 6: #13 Tagging makes the web 2.0 world go round

Wow, that was great to have my favorite links on 1 spot. It's like doing one spot shopping.
