The journey begins...
My Cam23 journey started in April when I was asked to become part of the Project Team for 23 Things Cambridge. I saw this as an opportunity for me to:
1. Work with other colleagues within the University
2. Learn more about Web 2.0 technologies
3. Discover what tools could be used to improve services to readers
I had already started using iGoogle & Delicious before the programme started, and Wikis are part of the CamTools VLE which I use daily. I don't use Facebook, but I've searched YouTube, read blogs, etc, but hadn't engaged with them in any detail.
We all have to start somewhere on the Web 2.0 road and I see the 23 Things Cambridge programme as an exciting opportunity to explore a selection of tools and see what they have to offer librarians & their libraries.

Love the photo, is it home made and if so where is the location??
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment about the photo. It's a view from my aunt and uncle's house that a I took a few summers ago. They live in the Waveney Valley (not far from Lowestoft), and I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone!
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog & like how you're using iGoogle and your comments on blogging in general. I am a first time blogger and am still finding my way...
I hope you continue to enjoy the programme.
