How will I stay up-to-date with all of the latest web 2.0 tools? Well, I will never have the time to learn many of the things that are out there, but this course has sure helped me find and learn about a lot of them! First of all, I will probably use the tools I enjoyed the most often. Then, hopefully, I will find ways to use some of the other tools for library or personal projects or offer help with them if they could be used by someone else. Between the 2 of these, I hope I can continue to remain knowledgeable about current web 2.0 tools, but I also hope these tools will lead me to other useful tools or newer tools that are out there.
I have added LibrarianInBlack and go2web20.net to my GoogleReader, but I will have to work hard to read the news, blogs, and other information even from GoogleReader since I have never been much of a news fan. However, I will attempt to glance every few days and see if there is anything new and interesting in the web 2.0 world.
The best way I have found to keep up with new tools is by talking to my co-workers and friends who are into web stuff. They offer good advice and recommendations about the tools they are using right now. Another source for great information is student assistants. These people are in college right now and were born digital! I even asked one student assistant about using Facebook! Mostly they are very helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and honest! Don't be afraid to ask!
I have learned a lot from this course and I really liked the work at your own pace style. I was able to explore the "Things" and blog as I had time and it worked out really well for me. Thanks for planning this course NEFLIN! I feel like I can better help patrons, colleagues, and myself with future questions and projects!
