I’ve spent the last 90 minutes or so exploring iLife ’06 from Apple. It’s new this week and boasts loads of features. iPhoto runs smoother, the apps are even more integrated but the most intriguing pieces are iWeb and the Podcast Studio of Garageband. Here’s a flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/sets/72057594047315870/ I was able to record a podcast in about 25 minutes and mix it down for iWeb to post at my .mac account. You can see the podcast blog and hear the podcast here: http://web.mac.com/mstephens7/iWeb/TTW.Mac/TTWPodcasts/TTWPodcasts.html There is a learning curve for Garageband but it’s not bad at all once you get […]

http://www.ottergroup.com/blog/_archives/2006/1/9/1633065.html The Otter Group rolls out a program for integrating social software into learning! We are pleased to announce our new Learning 2.0 Boot Camp. The main focus on the Learning 2.0 Boot Camp will be the development of a plan for a Learning 2.0 project. You will work in a team to define a project idea, develop a plan, and deliver the plan as a podcast and slide set. Projects will likely take existing business processes and services and re-develop them into new models based on Web 2.0 services. Your team might find a way to distribute information more […]
I’m joining some cool folks for a Talking with Talis podcast on the Library 2.0 meme. Read about it and learn how to submit questions here.
Via Matt McAlister’s round up of “link love” stories, I found “How to present Web 2.0 ideas that resonate with non-technical people.” Good stuff. McAlister addresses putting together a presentation on Web 2.0 with all of it’s “buzziness.” You can read about his thinking, check out some HOT comments and download the presentation.

John Blyberg weighs in on the L2 discussion with a post that blows my socks off! http://www.blyberg.net/2006/01/09/11-reasons-why-library-20-exists-and-matters/ Just a snippet: L2 is actually happening I differ with those that believe L2 is all theory and no action. I’m seeing a number of libraries taking the initiative right now. There are not just gaming conferences, there are actual gaming programs. Individuals are not just talking about their plans to use IM for virtual reference–they’re doing it now. Coffee shops are opening up in libraries, policies are being rewritten, facilities are being built to reflect some of these changes. I don’t buy […]

From Abram’s HOT HOT HOT article “Web 2.0 – Huh?! Library 2.0, Librarian 2.0” that will hit tomorrow. (Link forthcoming) This list, however, speaks to me deeply.
