And now the end is here ...

... so this must be the final curtain??

So what to say about this Web 2.0 learning? Good in principle, but the selection of resources was disappointing. Some had little or no Web 2.0 relevance/content and others didn't really fit with anything I would find useful in a library environment.

That said, Go Animate was fun, and I might use it in future for personal stuff - not at work - far too slow for the amount of time we have available for this sort of thing.

Which is a pity, because I like Web 2.0 tools in general. There are some really good ones out there that could be very useful to us ...

Bigbooksearch allows to browse books by cover - fantastic for those patrons that ask for that "orange book with a yacht on the cover". Eduslide allows you to create your own e-learning or share others. Resolio is a cute online resume builder (and aren't we going to need those if we believe the financial pundits!)

Would I have done this if there was not some incentive - probably not. That said, it was a good opportunity to exercise certain brain cells that don't get much use in my average working day - which is always a good thing.

Ciao

Hi - you left a comment on my blog, I've got no other way of contacting you - but you're correct - the shaping of the vest is on every right side row x times, and then every other right side row y times until 16 stitches remain (insert the numbers as appropriate)

thanks for your comment..
