Thing 2~Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

I think it is important to find time to learn new things. I find myself spending time at work and home looking through the articles and blogs. I intend to spend at least an hour on each thing to get the full information and give it lots of thought on how to improve my library. I am taking part with 23 Things because I feel it is important to learn new things that will benefit my job and students. I hope to create a user-friendly library for my students, in which, they will utilize more. I find that I spend a lot of time on the Internet looking for information for teachers and students. More and more students are going away from books and using the Internet as their only resource. I have to be knowledgable about reliable resources on the Internet to help students find useful and worthy information. I don't have Internet at home because I have small children and I enjoy spending time with them. So far, I have learned how to blog and create an avatar. I think the blog could be useful for teachers and students for classroom work. The avatar, I don't understand the importance of. It was fun to make and learn but that is about all that I will do with it. I am looking forward to learning more technology and how I can use it to better my library.
