That's real Lifelong learning.<br />http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2012/05/04/3495516.htm<br />I've heard that keeping mentally creative or agile keeps one young. Is that true?

The possibilities seem endless. However as the users are contributors and we are 'teaching the machine' (as Michael Wesch says in The Machine is Us/ing Us)we will need to rethink a few things, or almost everything (including ourselves as he leaves us with at the end of the clip). It only makes sense that Librarians and Libraries embrace these technologies as well as they are not going away and our service consumers familiar with and utilising them is growing exponentially. Let's all Librarians commit to Life Long Learning (taking it as seriously as an oath) and embrace change in order to stay current and preserve our profession and the places in which we can provide current and informed services. Maybe we could ask Stephen Fry to be our ambassador to encourage the embracing of change and moving with the times (and the benefits of Web 2.0 - one of them being to never miss an episode of your favourite TV show ever again! ;))Chel's Softieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796149012345076266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336416445978356468.post-85661500920114865952011-06-21T11:24:06.686+10:002011-06-21T11:24:06.686+10:00We are living in a 'screenage' where we co...We are living in a 'screenage' where we connect, collaborate, share, comment and interact in ways that only this generation has been able to do. The possibilities seem endless. However as the users are no longer mere consumers but contributors who 'teach the machine' as Michael Wesch notes in his video 'The Machine is Us/ing Us' we absolutely need to 'rethink a few things' or should that be almost everything including ourselves (as he leaves us with at the end of the clip). One thing I find as one of the younger Librarians in the workplace is that many of my colleagues find change so daunting and scary. Web 2.0 is nothing to be scared of as Stephen Fry points out in his video but is to be embraced as an opportunity with so many possibilities (not only being able to catch up on missed TV episodes;)). Library users are familiar with and users of the technology and possiblities of Web 2.0 so it only makes sense that the people who run and work in them should be too. Part of a Librarian's creed should be to commit to Lifelong Learning (it was definitely encouraged when I completed my postgrad studies in 1999) as we all need to embrace change - it's a part of life anyway and in this modern life the pace of change is phenomonal!Chel's Softieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796149012345076266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336416445978356468.post-22837231307069714342009-06-15T00:28:44.564+10:002009-06-15T00:28:44.564+10:00The quick self assessment checklist and the concep...The quick self assessment checklist and the concept of learning through Discovery, Exploration and Adventure exercises seem interesting.

I wonder if it one of those things that makes us "human". If so it is interesting that we feel the need now to rediscover "lifelong learning". <br /><br />I found the European Commission's reports very humphreyesque.Marrickville Reads Blog Coordinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831976040636752243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336416445978356468.post-9778443344286390532008-11-07T11:13:00.000+11:002008-11-07T11:13:00.000+11:00I enjoyed listening to the Stephen Fry video clip....I enjoyed listening to the Stephen Fry video clip.

He is not your average Brit actor, he has taken on serious and meaningful characters in various productions. Hoe logic it is then to hear him talking at Web 2.0 as an extension of everyone intelligence and connectivity to all other people. I wonder what people like Einstein, Currie, shakespeare etc would have made of the power of not only the net but Web 2.0. Imagine being able to expand the pool of though that was stored originally in one "computer" - the human brain. But I digress!<BR/><BR/>To me Web 2.0 not only has vast usages and challenges - but presents us with a diverse range of ethical and personal questions. More of this later. <BR/><BR/>The power of Web 2.0 is one of the most stunning changes technology has presented us with and a challenge I am ready to use.<BR/><BR/>So lets knock on those doors and go inside.WillC58https://www.blogger.com/profile/15698708504862621643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336416445978356468.post-76133363711080253572008-09-05T13:39:00.000+10:002008-09-05T13:39:00.000+10:00I look forward to learning all about Web 2.0 - it ...I look forward to learning all about Web 2.0 - it will be quite a challenge for me.<BR/><BR/>I did enjoy the interview with Stephen Fry.
