my learning experience

I would say the flicker site, dealing with the digital pictures was my favorite, this site made learning experience fun. LibraryThing was enjoyable in that, you made a record of what types of books you have read, and adding tags to help locate others, that might be similar. The podcasts are interesting also, all these 3 or 5 minute little videos of what people are doing or thinging about can be interesting and amusing to watch.
I guess the way this process effects my lifelong learning is realizing that we never do stop learning new things, and now we have to try and keep current with technology to boot. I can just imagine what the computer will be like in another 10 years.
i had a look at many of the other blogs that staff put together. Some are simple like mine, but many are very involved. Alot of pictures, color and various type styles. People can do quite alot with them.
I could see in the future that libraries could use things like the podcasts to film a class, such as the internet classes we teach for seniors and have patrons watch the class from home, when ever they wished to do so. We could have things such as how to use the card catalog in a podcast, how to use the dewey decimal system. Patrons click on the one they want to see and get a little more personalized explanation.
