Thing #23 Learning 2.0 Ends

In 1996 I saw the Internet on the horizon and swam out to it! During the past 10 years that we have been together I have seen some amazing development and progress. Learning 2.0 looks like a culmination but I see it as another 'beginning' and even as I complete this current journey my eyes are scanning the horizon to see what is out there next.
Following the PLCMC Library Learning 2.0 Program and co-ordinating it at the same time has been quite a challenge and I would like to acknowledge the Help of Helene Blowers, The Grand Architect of Learning 2.0 from the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenberg County in NC. USA, who is encouraging and inspiring us with her passion.
Lynette Lewis, a fantastic mentor and partner in crime! Christine MacKenzie, our CEO who sees the potential of people and motivates us to embrace these new technologies within Yarra Plenty Library Service (replacement of the carpet between our desks and offices should take priority in 2007).
The staff who are taking this program on (some who I least expected too) I salute you and look forward to working with you on other exciting Projects in the future.

I have to say my favourite 'Thing' has been Blogging. It is the vehicle for this whole Program and probably the first 'Social Networking' tool that empowered us to create our OWN online presence.

I look forward to monitoring the Program through to its Finale on January 26th and further challenges in 2007.

Thanks to all participants, mentors and motivators.
