#1 Discovery has never been so much fun ...

Welcome to the SPLS Learning 2.0 program & blog. Our Learning 2.0 programming is modeled after PLCMC's Learning 2.0 program & blog. You'll notice that many of our exercises are based off of PLCMC, so we have to give credit where credit is due!

Chances are if you've found your way here you're:

1) A member of SPLS's staff who is participating in the Learning 2.0 Program.

2) Interested in learning about and playing around (yes, playing is allowed in libraries) with some new Web 2.0 tools that will help you expand your information literacy toolbox.

- and/or -

3) Just interested in earning a cool USB MP3 player!

Either way… we're glad you're here!!

Learning 2.0 is an online learning program that encourages staff to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other.

This website highlights “23 Things” and discovery exercises to help staff become familiar with blogging, RSS news feeds, tagging, wikis, podcasting, online applications, social networking and video and image hosting sites.

So fasten your seat belts, grab your mouse and get ready for a discovery adventure… and remember, it's OK to play in the library and have fun!
