This is my final post!
I have completed the course and have really enjoyed it! Some of the things of the course i already, some i did not know about and learnt completely new things that i have never heard of before. I enjoyed the each week as we did something different.
I feel better informed that i now have more experience and knowledge in different areas of technology. We live in a world that technology changes so quickly and in the past decade dramatically changed the way we live, work and go about our daily tasks.
i think the library can use blogs, geocaching, podcasts , librarything , wiki's etc pretty much almost everything we have learnt to help engage the public, attract new memebers and involve staff in order to have a line between collegues and also to have fun at work!
the thing that was annoying the most about the weblearning 2.0 was the keeping up each week and falling behind sometimes. Also commenting on five blogs etc was a little challenging because sometimes you just do not get time!
The course has been fun, i have enjoyed and it has taught me things i will use throughout my uni degree, my career and to teach others.
Thanks to Lawley for keeping us on track throughout the course and helping us when we got stuck!
Thats a wrap!! :)

Geocaching Week 10!
Woohoo!! Last week is complete! :)
well geocaching is something that i did not know anything about until web learning 2.0!
I think that geocaching would be a great way for kids to get involved and learn about their local areas for example for us within the city of cockburn. Perhaps targetting areas that have a lot of history, landmarks and how they became apart of our community.
I think it would be a good idea for staff to work together and place geocaches around our local communities and in the other areas of our libraries such as Coo and Sus areas. it would help strengthen relationships between staff, require teamwork.
the caches can include different includes as well as their normal requirements. There are few different caches such as the traditional cache which has a container and a log book, or a multi cache which includes a two or more locations.
i found two geocaches close to my suburb for example one in south fremantle which is about 10 mins away Called EVANS ABOVE and another one in munster which is about 2 mins away. These were found through the geocaching website Australia.

Blog 10 Podcasting!
Podcasting...
It has only been recently that i learnt about podcasts!
Podcasts are a good way to be in touch and keep up with events, lectures and talks that can occur at one although cannot be atteneed by all.
Curtin has podcasts in which your able to download your lectures at any given time and be able to listen to them on your iphone or ipod.
Well done for city of cockburn to have their first podcast! I think it will be very useful for them as there is always events happening within the library and our community and will give the public opportunities to be up to date with what is happening in our local community.
We as the city of cockburn have not used podcasts at all ! so its time to start! We can podcasts events or talks by authors, book clubs (for those that cannot attend) as well as any events that occur can be recorded and still put online for all to view!
My favourite podcasts include Hamish and Andy, and good news week!
I downloaded mine from itunes and these particular ones were free. I downloaded them onto my ipod and now i can watch them at any time and anywhere!
I know that this semester for uni i will be downloading more podcasts for my lectures!
:) next week geocaching!! yay! last week!
