Stealing a title from dear ol' Lemony. I enjoy Online learning. This has been a great experience. I have not worked for any other employer who values staff education at such a high level. The dedication by management to insure we all recognize new trends and technologies is wonderful. It's been nice hearing staff who were terrified of this and against the whole thing are now so excited about new services we can offer to the public.
Well, I was just looking at the Discussion Board, and the discussion starting about Copyright looks like it will be a very interesting discussion to watch.
I started a new discussion as well. About personal blogs invading the workplace environment. See what you think.

Week 10!
Well, I have big plans for my MP3 player. I joined LAFitness at the Health Fair, so I will be using my MP3 player for music and audiobooks to use at the gym. Mostly music, I suppose. I listen to so many Audiobooks in my car, that it's overwhelming. Can't wait to play with it, I've never used one before.

I can't believe that I forgot to write my comments about this movie. Too funny! There were a few more in the library done by these people. A really long computer start up noise. I really liked the spontaneous musical in the lecture hall as well. I think I'd be addicted to YouTube if I had a faster Internet connection at home and no little kids.

Week 9 - Widgets
Wow. That advanced assignment was pretty easy. I added a Widget, found on Yourminis. I added the Yahoo word of the day. Very cool.
I really like those music maps. Very different results for artists. Gonna have to look and see if we have any CD Music by some of these people. I searched for Richard Shindell and Morrissey.
Not sure where I stand on Digital Rights Management. I believe the debate should be settled by the music artists themselves. It's their property, their financial status.

Week 8 - 'Bout time I get caught up
Just in time for next week's posting.
Gotta make sure I get all this done. Just joined the gym - see previous post, and I can see use of that new MP3 player, as I don't have one.
Need to try one of those playaways now, after I buy some earbuds.
OK - Week 8. I'm being a loner with this course. I enjoy web-based learning. The self-paced aspect is great - especially since we all have certain times of day where we absorb learning better. I have discussed the course with other staff members during the course of my training weeks in other departments, but I haven't actually helped anyone with it up to this point. Many discussions regarding blogs and privacy in general, but we haven't worked on the actual coursework together. It would've been fun as a team, but my schedule at this point in time really doesn't allow for it. Maybe the next round, when my schedule is more evened out.
On to week 9...tomorrow!

Week 7 - Again
So, I got sucked into getting a membership at LAFitness at the OCLS Health Fair. Went today for my training session - what does this have to do with Web 2.0? Nothing.... Actually, I came back today and signed up for traineo.com -- not that I'll ever remember my login or password, but, I can still play with it. Check it out - wend_n.traineo.com
Speaking of that? With all of these applications going on and introduced in the Learn 2.0 - how on earth does everyone keep track of all these logins and passwords?

Week 7 - Learn 2.0
Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I did the Adventure.
I researched Web 2.0 applications for scrapbooking but didn't find anything that really made sense. So, then I searched for decorating. Ran across this mashable.com site that lists news. There was an article talking about an upcoming, not yet released site called mydeco.com. So, I looked at another decorating site called curbly.com - it looks like it has some neat stuff in there. I can see a lot of use for the 2.0 with decorating. Tips and ideas, a good way to share crafts. Somewhere in that mashable site, I then got a link to cricket social networks, so I looked at one called crictv.com to pass on to my husband.
In an unrelated move, I played with the gardening construct on the Virtual Gallery, too cute. I was working in IS when they were discussing the idea, and it came out really good.
Now, someone needs to teach me how to get those 2.0 applications to do the actual decorating work for me..... sure beats standing at the paint counter at Home Depot for 15 minutes and not having a single staff member bother to come see what I needed. Guess I'll buy paint at Lowe's. But it's so easy to paint online.... wish it were that easy IRL.
