My Personal Interest in Web 2.0
• RSS workshop & help with 3 blogs at KSL
• ALA Library 2.0 participant
• ALA LAMA Web Coordinator– Blogs, RSS, Wiki, Communities
• Teach workshop for KSU SLIS
• Regular IM user
• Non-IT person that likes to “play”
Today we will…
• Use AJAX to create a mashup, which we will syndicate by RSS, after we create the XML file, and write up the documentation in a wiki
• And I will demonstrate all of this in 3-D from within Second Life
It Can Be Simple
• Transformations in training
• Web 2.0 for the trainer
• Web 2.0 for training
• What has been done already
Warnings, the “but…” moment
• Not every tool and technique works for every need and/or user
• I do not have time…• I do not have money…• The old way works…
• Try to leave today with one potential new tool for personal or professional usage
Training Desires: Participant
• Interesting & fun
• Variety
• Adjustable to me (pace, level, etc.)
• Solo or group participation
• Interactive
• Easy to get help
• Archived, on-going
Training Desires: Trainer
• Easy to maintain
• Adjustable over time
• Collaborative
• Ability to gain feedback for improvement or assessment
• Easy to incorporate into existing systems, procedures, & policies
Why Web 2.0?
Key concepts or focus points:– Collaboration & sharing– Participant’s ownership in activities– Creation & creativity– Web-based rather than software based– Data/information– Social– Connections/relationships– Trust (2-way)
Web 2.0 Concepts
– Enrichment– Can be personalized– Participation– Decentralized– User “tagged” or defined– Experiences– Remixable– Behavior rather than the actual tools– Beyond static web pages
Coined by O'Reilly Media (2004)
