Look at me...look at me....

Well, I can't believe I've done this - my first blog. 
Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? (When I started in public libraries our only technology was a date stamp on the end of a pencil and a spike for sorting the cards...certainly have come a long way since then!!!)
When I did the quick self assessment checklist I was dismayed to see how little I did know but I am sure that by the end of the Learning 2.0 program I will be more confident and will know how to do a lot more...
I am a little behind the 8 ball with doing this program. Short staffed, too much to do...having a life outside of work...but I'm sure I will be able to catch up. 
I have always believed that you should learn something new everyday ... so I am really looking forward to continuing with this program and not looking so blank when my kids talk about blogs, wikis and all other things technical.
I have been reading other people's blogs and am relieved to see that I am not the only one who feels they are not quite up to scratch with the new and changing technology of the internet. But that is all going to change for me...I am really looking forward to this!
