This week I've just completed Cert 111 Library/Information Services. So I'm looking forward to a bit of leisure time without feeling guilt about assignments waiting to be done.
Though I'm 'oldschool' and would rather read a book or newspaper than look at a screen, I realise it's inevitable that I have to be dragged into the 21st century. I intend to take advantage of the positive things the web has to offer and it will be interesting to see what I've been missing.
The Learning 2.0 programme sounds like a painless way to ease myself into blogs and the world of the web. I mainly use the Internet for study, as an encyclopedia and a minimal amount of communication. My children and younger work colleagues all have blogs, but it has always been a bit of a mystery.
At least now when someone mentions the word blog I won't have to give a feeble smile and try to change the subject.
