The Last Task

So our last task is to look back and talk about what we learned and how it can affect our learning goals. I've always made it a point to try and learn something new everyday, and to use that new information or skill as often as possible. Something I learned early on was that technology was here to stay. That it's an ever evolving medium with new ideas and pathways that can sometimes be mind boggling. Just thinking about the new technology presented in these tasks can give you a head (and headache) full of new ideas and possibilities.
* Using Flickr to show online customers about our display's and our library.
* Giving virtual tours through YouTube.
* Visual and virtual step by step instructions on how to use our services.
* Having an online book club.
* Podcasts of reviews on the top circulating books in our collection or a new service offered.
Just some of the tons of ideas out there that can expand on the services we have. In a way, just taking it one more step from what we do now.
Can it be intimidating? Oh yes. Scary in some ways, but new things can be that way.
It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.
Besides. I don't want to be called a Noob.
It's bad for my image.
