I often wondered what some of the people who were using the public internet were doing, at times they seem to have these amazing looking pages that they were adding content. Some of this web 2.0 stuff I knew about but other things I'd heard of but had certainly not experienced. This whole Library 2.0 program is exciting and I'm looking forward to learning how to use these fascinating new technologies.
I'm certainly a promoter of Lifelong Learning, I do it everyday in being a librarian at work, a parent of two children at home, and in pretty much every other part of my life. I believe that having a keen interest in teaching and learning stems from my parents who were committed to ensuring opportunities for education were always available. What this means to me now is that I try to provide assistance to people who are seeking it in my work setting and in my personal life I am always a great encourager to people who want to take a learning step, whatever that may be.
I have a friend who's blog is devoted to the restoration of his English house, from encounters with tradesmen, recommending a local friendly hardware store, to his brightly painted new door and his specially constructed garden shed.
I think the beauty of blogs is their ability to have communication with the diversity of the world. There is always someone else out there with similar wants and interests.
