Learning Along With Your Library Community
Check out this cool innovation from Yarra Plenty Libraries in Australia:
A Taste of Web 2.0: Connecting Online @ Your Local Library
They link to it from their homepage.
What Yarra Plenty Library is doing is that they're running a 6 week Web 2.0 program for the public. They're starting July 25, and the self-paced online course will introduce their cardholders to some popular Web 2.0 applications. Those locals who complete the program will go into the draw for one of 9 iPods. Here's the sort of tools they're promoting users learn:
Skype
SecondLife
Create a blog
Flickr and photosharing
Image Generators
LibraryThing
Google Maps
Google Book Search
iGoogle
Podcasts
E-Books Audio Books and Overdrive
YouTube
MySpace
Facebook
Cool!
Steal this idea.
