Thing #1: Exploration and discovery are fun!

Welcome to the New Canaan Library’s Learning 2.0 program and blog.

Chances are you found you way here because:

1. you are a New Canaan Library Staff member who’s participating in the Learning 2.0 Challenge
2. interesting in learning and playing around with some of the new web 2.0 tools that will help you expand your information literacy toolbox
   or
3. you are just interested in earning the incentive prize!

Regardless of your reasons, we are so glad you are here!

Learning 2.0 is a program that was started by Helene Blowers at the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. This program was developed to encourage staff to learn about emerging technologies on the web, and how they are changing the way people, society, and libraries access information and communicate with each other.

Over the next 10 weeks, this website will be your entry point for completing the 23 Thing and discovery exercises to help us become familiar with blogging, RSS news feeds, tagging, wikis, downloadable audio, image hosting sites, and online applications.

To familiarize yourself with this project, please read the About Page. The FAQs should answer most of your questions about this program. If not, please add your questions to the FAQ page as a comment.

So, ready to explore, discover and play? Grab your mouse and get ready for an online discovery adventure. Remember: it is OK to play in the library and have fun!
