Welcome to Learning 2.0

Welcome to Learning 2.0 or 13 Things to explore and learn about Web 2.0 tools!

You’ve found the MCR Regional Medical Library’s Learning 2.0 blog. Chances are that if you’ve made your way here you’re either:

  • A member of the MCR staff who’s interested in participating in the Learning 2.0 Project
  • Interested in learning about some of the new Web 2.0 tools and applications (such as blogs, wikis, Flickr, and del.icio.us) that you’ve heard so much about
  • Are interested in actually playing around with some of those cool Web 2.0 tools and figuring out how to use them in your daily work and leisure activities.

No matter why, we’re glad you’re here.

Learning 2.0 is an online learning program that encourages staff and others to learn more about emerging technologies on the Web that are changing the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other.

Over the course of the next 13 weeks this blog will highlight “13 Things” and discovery lessons to help staff become familiar with blogging, RSS news feeds, tagging, wikis, podcasting, online applications, and video and image hosting sites.

To familiarize yourself with this project, please be sure to read the “About Learning 2.0 page. The FAQs should answer many of your questions. If not, please add your questions to the FAQ page as a comment.

Get ready to log on, explore, and have fun! (Yes, you are allowed to have fun working in a library.)
