I am so excited about this class! I know how many hours Myra has worked on this PST and I want to say how much I appreciate her knowledge. All hail Queen Myra 2.0! The homework for our first class is Thing #1 and Thing #2, how many thought of Cat in the Hat ~~~ the helpful Thing One and Thing Two? Sorry, I digress.
Thing #1: Web 2.0 I am intrigued by all the terminology: Wikis; RSS feeds; Mashups; Flickr; del.icio.us and bloggs. I am so looking forward to learning ways to use these and all the other new technology with students in the library. In the article from the OCLS Newsletter Tom Storey talks about how this is the evolution of the World Wide Web. Today the web does indeed have the capability to make cultural changes and is an integral part of daily life. At the rate technology is changing, it is a daunting task to keep abreast of all the new ways to communicate.
Thing #2: Blogging. This is a rather frightening idea for me, putting my thoughts in print on the World Wide Web. I hope that my writing does not make any English teacher cringe and reach for the red pen. I also hope that what I say is meaningful and offends no one. And so, in I go with both feet. Web 2.0 here I come.
I have successfully created a blog and told the world about myself. I chose the name because our principal always refers to our school as “The Aerie”. So I am not really thinking of nesting, but sharing thoughts about school opportunities.

So is that the best pic ever? Linda, you keep me going!
You two are the funniest. All we need is to read your blogs and we'll know it all.
Hi Linda, great pictures. Can we change this font?
If you want your comments to look different, do them in WORD, copy, and paste your comment (sometimes it works, sometimes not. They are very simple structure to save space on the owners blog. You can manually make changes, but you'd need to know some basic HTML.
Hi,
Wow, you blog looks wonderful. It looks so profession. Do you want to work on mine? Talk about making me feel really intimated.
Aaah, Linda, you never disappoint. Well done on your site and your comments. You made me smile and giggle. ;-) Kim

I like your Thing One and Thing Two!! They trash the place and then put it all back together!! I'm still trying to get my little avatar on my blog!! It's making me very mad!(arms crossed/foot stomp!)
Perfect picture Linda! Now when we make a mistake on our postings we can blame it all on Thing One and Thing Two scampering around and wreaking havoc!
