Having survived Week 1 of Learning 2.0, I have managed to leave the construction of the blog too the last minute as I had no idea about what to say. Having your words in print for many eyes to see is quite a challenging experience. Now that I have created a blog I am surprised at how easy it was and therefore can now understand why there are so many blogs on the Internet. But the question is does anybody read them and if they do, does anyone reply?
Having viewed a few library blogs for specific library areas and seen that the only person who writes on them is the librarian, I do wonder if people do reply. When the next great Internet product is invented will blogs become old, as email has with many. A comment I have read on some email lists is that librarians are hearing from younger patrons that email is old, the popular way to communicate with people is through Facebook. Only time will tell.
Away from all things blog to all things movie I have discovered the trailor for Nim's Island on MySpace http://www.myspace.com/nimsisland and the trailor for Prince Caspian http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/ both are worth a look. For those who have an interest in YA literature and have read the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, it is worth checking out her websight http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/ to learn more about the movie. I discovered the sight after discussing the books with a patron.
See you in Week 3
