Did You Know?

Blogger Issues!

Blogger seems to be having some technical problems lately. If you haven’t been able to log in, have no fear, no one else could either!  I think the issue has been fixed (there was a planned outage scheduled for today, see: http://status.blogger.com), so that might have been why people were having difficulties logging in.

If anyone continues to have issues with Blogger please let me know!

2008/09 Program Kick-Off

Welcome to the Learning 2.0 @ SIAST blog!

If you’ve found your way here you’re probably interested in learning about and playing around with some new Web 2.0 tools.

Learning 2.0 @ SIAST is an online learning program that encourages SIAST employees to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people access information and communicate with one another. SIAST Library and Testing Services staff completed the program in the spring of 2008 and now we are opening it up for everyone to discover!

This website highlights 10 Web 2.0 tools. Each tool has a discovery activity to help participants become familiar with blogging, RSS feeds, video and image hosting sites, wikis, and social bookmarking (just to name a few).

The goal is to have fun and discover what Web 2.0 all about!

So what exactly is Web 2.0? Watch the video “Understanding Web 2.0″:

To familiarize yourself with this project, be sure to read the About page and the FAQs should answer most of your questions about this program. If not, then please add your question to the FAQ page as a comment or you can email Robin.

If you think the Learning 2.0 Program is for you, feel free to start with the first discovery activity “Blogs” whenever you like!
