Hi everyone,
Please don't be alarmed by all the modules popping up in your LAMs account. I have deliberalely done this to allow those who are up to date to continue with their next modules while they have the time. I have also loaded modules for some people that they didn't choose simply so that you could change your mind if you didn't like the module you did choose! Please feel free to try out some others (if you have time that is!). By the way, do you have headsets for Skype or arranged for these to be sent to you by Alice?

Blogs, Gadgets and learning
I hope you are all finding something of interest in these modules. From time to time I read comments like "interesting but can't see much use for it" when talking about some of the content encountered in CCLlearn. That may well be the case as I for one don't use blogging in my personal life although I could if my circumstances were different. But it is worth thinking about 'why should we learn to use a tool that we had not thought of using before (or may not have understood)?'
One obvious answer is that until we try something out we don't appreciate what it can do. And even if this doesn't have any apparent use now, at some point in the future it may fit the need for a particular tool perfectly - but that match-up might not happen if we haven't learned to use the tool in the first place. And of course we may need to help library patrons with difficulties in blogging or gadgets etc.
The other thing that matters here is that even though the tool may be ditsy or puerile (note the proliferation of gadgets that have scantily clad pin-ups washing cars or serving tea - all from your desktop) the skills we acquire in trying and using these tools are building our confidence as well as giving us skills that we can transfer to other applications. So to end my sermon... everything we do in CCLlearn is useful in some sense and helping us to get comfortable with the digital world we need to be in to be relevant to our communities.
By the way, if you have been experiencing freezes or incredibly slow internet, don't worry. This is perhaps the biggest frustration for everyone in CCLlearn. It is perhaps symptomatic of NZ's third world internet infrastructure. It may even be worse now we have free internet with the concurrent increase in patronage this is attracting. The bandwidth gets bottlenecked and I'm afraid there is no 'digital vaseline' to alleviate this. So keep trying is all the advice I can give (sorry!).

Week 2 modules
Hi everyone,
I just want to remind those of you who haven't done so to make sure you 'follow' the blogs of everyone in the group and try to find out how to get automatic updates when a fellow blogger posts anything new on their own blog. Also you can set your blogs to get e-mail notification if any of your followers put comments posts you add to your own blog. It could mean lots of e-mails over the coming weeks! But try it and if it gets annoying you can always change it back.
I loaded the modules yesterday and hopefully you are getting on with these (but remember to work at your own pace).
All the best!

Welcome to CCLlearn! (and my blog ;)
Firstly I want to apologise for missing our first meeting. I really wanted to be there as it is the most important of all the meetings. I had prepared a list of things I ought to cover to make life a little easier for everyone (I tend to get a little obsessive-compulsive when it comes to preparing myself for meetings and then on the day it all flys out the window!). But on the day events (nine-year old son with hacking cough and goobly nose) conspired against me and to my great frustration I have been flat-out with service delivery training and being TRIM trained since then. I just haven't had time to get in touch with all of you.
I would like you all to check out each other's blogs regularly and 'follow' them (mine included - when you got to it you would have noticed that my creativity leans towards the dark side - I like dark backgrounds). The initial aim is to keep in touch through blogging and to avoid using e-mail. Please, please don't be afraid of making your blog open i.e. public. If you prefer to keep it only for invited people that's fine although it is not intended that you reveal personal stuff and your innermost thoughts to all the world through your blog. It is primarily a tool that you will learn to use while you record what you learned and discoveries you made during CCLlearn.
I hope that you are finding the time to work and play on your modules. It is difficult to dedicate the four to six hours per week you ought to have, especially when colleagues are carrying the can and it gets really busy and the phone keeps ringing etc, etc. But it will compromise your ability to learn if you don't block out these distractions and focus on your learning. By the way, don't mention that I called your colleagues 'distractions' unless they wear something outlandish for Cup Day! See you tomorrow.

Facilitating
It has been amazing seeing how much people have been learning despite having to overcome technical issues (like LAMS not opening all day!). The thoughts and ideas springing from it have been impressive, leading me to think 'gee I wish I'd thought of that one'. For instance someone in my group had the brilliant idea of using wordle as an aid to developing a colleague's PR & D framework by highlighting common themes that emerged during the course of discussion.
The last week has not been an easy one for me as I've struggled with a major case of hayfever and needing time off work to rest. Meanwhile I've been mindful of the need to try to stay in contact with members of my group who have had to email me with proposals for their Productivity sharing tasks. Sorry folks if I have left you in the lurch. It's not easy to have a head full of responsbilities eating away at you when trying to think 'what's the healthiest food I could eat in my condition?' makes the said head hurt!

Facilitator role
This week has certainly been another steep learning curve. I am comfortable enough with being a facilitator as I enjoy encouraging others to try things and challenge themselves. The principle challenge is the use of LAMS. Getting to grips with what to me is not a intuitive software has been as challenging for me as what some of those I mentor in my group have faced in their modules! But it has an invaluable purpose. Exploring and familiarising myself with something new so that I can get the job done and blaze a trail which I can help others to follow.
I also have a minor phobia of setting up electornic hardware in front of a group of people. I recall my school teachers in the 1970's and 80's saying, as they set up overhead projectors and video recorders in font of the class, "these things always work fine when you practice setting them up, then they don't work when you have a whole class watching you". My experience backs me up as I always find connecting laptops with data-shows is never the same with each machine. Oh well, I'll have to swallow my pride and accept I'm going to have a few more red-faced moments along the way.
As far as my group goes (and all the other groups), I admire their adventurous spirit in undertaking this programme especially when some readily admit it takes them out of their comfort zone and they fear failure. However my belief is that all will achieve significant goals, learn a great amount and be so much more confident, skilled and positive to face the digital future.

Welcome to Ug's blog
Hi to all my fellow CCLlearners!
You may have guessed it from the banner... this blog had humble origins. At first I felt out of my depth a little, hence the name 'The Stone Age Geek' (i.e. my stone-age knowledge was a serious handicap). 'Ug' was a suitable pseudonym as it was anonymous (should my efforts turn to custard I could hide my shame behind my anonymity) and when it came to my knowledge of Web 2.0 "Ug" was about the only word in my vocabulary! It was also short enough that I wouldn't easily forget it. I'm glad to say now however that I have since by-passed the Dark Ages and skipped on towards the Renaissance as far as my confidence and skill goes. I'm actually loving blogging now and I won't be closing this thing down in shame after all!
It was great to see you all getting your blogs set up quickly. You may have had similar apprehensions as I did about whether or not you could tackle it. But you did and you succeded. Now for the fun bit... In the weeks ahead you will get to be creative and add interesting stuff to your blogs. Don't worry if you end up hashing something or you don't like what you've added. You can easily remove bits and try something else. Experiment and play. Good luck! I'll be waiting for you in the Renaissance!

Passing it on (not the Swine Flu!)
Last week I finally did my two sharing exercises and they both went off fairly well I thought. My first was the group 'caffeine break' session (without caffeine I'm afraid to say!) looking at http://www.librarything.com/ and comparing this web 2.0 catalogue with CCL's own public catalogue. The idea was to try to see the advantages of a web 2.0 interface from our library users' perspective as opposed to their experiences with using our current catalogue. To further illustrate this I got them to have a wee play with Wellington City Library's AquaBrowser which makes finding a Haydn string trio a piece of cake (try that on OPAC!!).
My next exercise was a one to one sharing of Google docs. It's easy to use and accesible from anywhere. My 'student' was pleasntly impressed by the accessibility and the ability to collaborate with multiple users anywhere any time.

Cloud Computing
The idea of having on-line apps like Google docs and Zoho makes sense, especially with mobility and access to open source apps becoming more convenient. The fact that you can collaborate with others in real time on a given document seems a great advantage to productivity. Maybe this is the future for the library network because it means accessibility to your work wherever you are at any time.
Claire also suggested this as a good way for customers to save their work when they have to quit from a library PC. I am about to try to post this to my blog. So if you are reading this in my blog, I have succeeded!!
LibraryThing was a very satisfying application to use. I loved the power of being able to add my little bit of content - specifically tags, reviews and ratings. It was very satisfying to add titles to my library and then see other readers' comments on them and also to see related content displayed which was of interest to me. I will definitely continue to use this.
I really like the idea of cloud tags linked with the library catalogue. It seems such a great tool that would open up a much easier and dynamic avenue for library users to search independently and to have the ability to feed directly into the content themselves. Often I find the catalogue frustrating because it doesn't feature the subject headings I would tend to use but which I would like to use to find material for my interests. And what a lot of bother I would have to go to in order to remedy this in our traditional library system. Cloud tags is the great solution to this problem.

InfoConnect/Discovery
Had set up my account at Zoho but had a nightmare trying to get in and use it so that I abandoned it. Even though I can now get in and do something I have run out of time. I will go back and try it out. Google docs is up and running and I have shared a doc with my co-facilitators but even though I followed the instructions for publishing a doc to this blog it hasn't turned up here at this point in time.
Stumble-upon was fascinating and it has already sent me an email with updates. Good! My little SearchBot has never reported back to me even though I set him up to report back daily 4 days ago! (not impressed). The highlight I guess has been seeing the potential for Google docs. But I may have to spend more time exploring how this works.

InfoConnect/Discovery
Parts of this were fun, some parts were frustrating. Setting up my own NZSearch function was actually fairly easy until I got to the 'add host URL' bit. What does this mean and how is one supposed to know how to do it? I tried and tried and in the end couldn't. It kept telling me my URL contained illegal characters. So I abandoned this in favour of something more productive.
Searchbots looks interesting but my tags and inquiry was quite arcane and when it asked me to select a colour for "mood" I thought "hmmn..Okay!" I have yet to see what the hungry little bot turns up for my quest. Stumbleupon is lots of fun but it seemed to take ages to recognise my log-in user name. For a long time it wouldn't recognise me so I used the "forgot your password?" help function. When I checked the email it sent back giving me my password it turned out to be the very password I was using and when I then went to log-in using it again...hey presto! Grr!
Apart from this hiccup, I like the site for a bit of fun and it has already satisfied my curiosity by finding something useful to me. Moving from the LAMS page to the CCLearn Blog has as usual been infuriating.

InfoConnect
Of the search engines I tried I instantly loved Browsys. The appeal lay in the two tiered search index. The top tier lists categories like 'social', 'images', 'academic' etc. When you click on one of these it opens up the next tier which lists a breathtaking array of all the sites available to search within. It was also nice to be able to just see and then try some of these different sites out all from the convenience of a smartly designed homepage. No awkward navigating here!

Podcasts
Generally it was more efficient using a site like Technorati to find podcasts on various subjects than trying to find them through a search engine. Also, the specialised directories like Technorati are good for a summary of any of the podcast sites with stats available on popularity and so on. As I don't really listen to much in the way of audio books or podcasts I would not have much use for podcasts from CCL. However I acknowledge the popularity of the format and see potential for it in lots of areas. For instance, local history content, readers advisory and perhaps for users who wish to create their own content about resources they liked and wish to recommend to other users.

RSS feed to this Blog
Frustration time again. I tried adding various third party RSS applications from the Google Gadgets and Widgets site to this blog. When I had added some of these gadgets from Google (third party ones at that) I had little difficulty adding the code to Edit HTML. But when I tried to paste the codes for the RSS gadgets into 'Edit HTML' it kept telling me there was an error in the code. After giving up on these third party apps I tried just the plain old generic Blogger RSS gadget and it worked first time! Heaven! Then I went to a blog site that I have enjoyed following for the past several months and pasted the URL into the gadget and it was done. Real simple. The RSS is on the top right column 'Magnum PI set decorator'. Fascinating reading as this guy has worked on LOST as well.
Google Reader
Getting Google reader was easy and so was adding a source feed, in this case NZHerald sport. However I decided to alter the source to not just sport generally but to rugby specifically. Here was where the fun (not) really started! Try as I might I could not change the source. I tried 'unsuscribe' which didn't work. I tried deleting Google Reader and then adding it back. NZHerald sport would always be there. Many times my computer froze ("programme not responding" as if I was unaware of this!). I gave up. The next morning I went in and changed it to 'rugby' seemlessly in 5 minutes. I still don't know how I managed to do it or even if I did anything differently. I would have to play with it again (not that I'd really like to!). Sometimes it pays to leave something alone for a while....

Searching for feeds
I tried Syndica8, Bloglines and Technorati. The latter seemed to work best for me. I tried 'All blacks' and got heaps of U.S. hits which discussed discrimination! But in Technorati it features 'Related Tags' on the right margin and 'All-Blacks', 'Jonah Lomu', 'Haka' etc were listed. By clicking on one of these I got some very interesting results which was my aim.

NZ 2.0 and CCL
RSS feeds from Premium Websites would be extremely useful for work purposes and for library users as well. Of the several Premium websites I checked only Accsess Science had RSS (and podcasts). RSS would also work nicely for the Local History section of the library's site especially for genealogists and students alerting them to new content such as digitised resources.
NZLive's mashups gadets would also be popular for schools doing local history projects from our Local History page. A blog would also be essential with various subject options available (Customer feedback, community events, family history etc).

NZ 2.0 and galleries, museums etc
NZ Museums http://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/and KRIS (Kiwi Research Information Service) http://nzresearch.org.nz/both show lots of promise. KRIS already has several thousand academic works available (looks like you have to register to access more than just the abstracts) while NZ Museums has just been set up by the National Museum in conjunction with NZLive and is still awaiting what may be a huge amount of content from the various museums large and small around the country. NZ museums has a blog attached from which here is one entry...

I’m about to race out the door to a workshop with Shelley Bernstein. This is a name that every New Zealand cultural organisation should be aware of. Shelley’s work at the Brooklyn Museum is revolutionising the way museums interact with their audiences.
Yesterday, about 400 people were treated to a talk at the National Library. Shelley went through her key points for engaging and retaining audiences with emerging technologies such as YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.
Matapihi is a rich resource (I have used it a few times). It is a quite formal and static tool that lacks the dynamism and 'two way traffic' character of some of the Web 2.0 sites like NZMuseums and KRIS. Matapihi is like viewing the world through a pin-hole camera. What would help it to deliver on it's potential are gadgets that constantly update and refresh it's content, RSS feeds that pull in various news and content from diverse sources and utilities like a blog for feedback and ideas from users and possibly mashups to allow creativity and flexibility of use by both users and hosts.

Web 2.0 in NZ Schools
I did a quick search in Google for 'Podcast' +'schools'. The first school that came up was Point England School in Glen Innes in Auckland. http://www.ptengland.school.nz/index.php?family=1,449. Check out some of the links on the left. It impressed me how much content was there from podcasts (and vodcasts) to blogs to digital imaging and so on. This is a really switched on school that aims to build e-skills in all of it's students from 5 years up. They appear to immerse their pupils in ICT rather than using it as a supplement to learning. And it is a very entertaining site that will reward your browsing.
Web 2.0 in Local Government
I had a wee explore of the Porirua Emergency Management Blog set up by a staff member of the Porirua City Council. http://poriruaemo.blogspot.com/ It is still in it's early days (set up in Oct 2008 with 723 visitors but not very many comments). It demonstrates the usefulness of being inclusive of citizens and I liked the way it has been layed out with subjects listed in the margin and with RSS feeds available. The disclaimer at the top makes it clear this is a "toe-dip" by the author but it will be interseting to watch if this will develop and be embraced in other areas by the Porirua City Council.

A work of art?
I didn't have any photos on the work PC that I could upload except this one, so I couldn't really do anything exciting with such tools as mappr like show holiday pics with geotags etc! But I liked the effects that I could create with this particular tool fd's Flickr Toys. The only hiccup though was that I set up my flickr account so that only my contacts could view. However this tool is, I think, a third party application which you can only use provided that you agree to make your creation accessible to anyone. So I had to reset my permission controls to be more inclusive and this was a bit confusing!

Post from Flickr
One place I visited in Japan was Kamakura, the central seat of power of the Tokogawa Shogunate the longest ruling of the Samurai clans in Japan. The size of many of the temples is awsome, some such as this one over 15 meters high and made entirely of wood. I was very impressed with this photoset from jpellgen because of the superb quality and because each photo has detailed descriptions.
In my learning I learnt...
Conduct a seige of my task. If at first I don't break through, keep battering away at it.! Oh and sorry if you got catapaulted masses of 'invitations' (I was learning!)
