Reflections on School Library Learning 2.0

1. Favorite discoveries/exercises: Zoho writer (it will solve a lot of access problems for students at school), and Library Thing ( a way cool site, I want to review books!).
2. Assisting lifelong learning goals: I feel a part of the 21st century. I have been a school librarian since 1985 and it is so refreshing to be able to learn new things every year. This course has shown me that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
3. Take-aways or surprises: I was surprised about how many new things there were to learn. I expected to learn a few new ideas, but the amount I learned was way more than I expected. The material was excellent.
4.Improvements: More feedback would be helpful. Perhaps pairing two librarians up for comments to blogs. Sometimes I was confused by whether I was doing a CSLA or PSLA program.
5. Future participation: A definite Yes.
6. Learning experience: An amazing adventure that all librarians should experience.

Thank you PSLA!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video created using Disney films. The short clips of words were a little nervewracking at first, but once I got into the rythm it was fun. The question for today: "Find an example or attribution that shows this program has been modified from its original." was a bit confusing. Does this mean the video or the actual School Library Learning 2.0? The answer to the first is the credits at the end of the video clip listing all of the movies that were used. If the question refers to the second, then the answer is found on the right hand side of the School Library Learning 2.0 page: "Learning 2.0 is a discovery learning program created by Helene Blowers. Content and style for School Library Learning 2.0 and Classroom Learning 2.0 have been borrowed and duplicated with permission, under a Creative Commons License. "

I now have a greater respect for copyright laws, know a bit more about them, and will remember to use them from the adorable and memorable video. Thank you.
