Second Life Rocks!!!

Anyone out there who is thinking about joining a FPLC community - you must!!!! You don’t know how powerful this is, at our most recent meeting we learned about Second Life. I am not completely sure how I could/would use this in my classes, but the technology is incredible and cutting edge. It is very important to be aware of what our patrons are using and keeping up with current popular culture technologies. Awesome meeting!!!

My reflections on joining the “Jetson’s FPLC -

When I was deciding about joining this FPLC, I was worried that I would be (by far and away) the least techie person at the meetings. I actually think that I know a lot about technology; I use it everyday in my job (Electronic Resources Librarian) and include it in my teaching (LBT 160 Introduction to Library Information Systems). But, I feel that I am “old school” technology and the way Shelley and my fellow FPLC members throw around terms (Twitter, jott.com, podcasting, Google apps, etc.) I get really excited.

I am eager to use this FPLC to research, discuss, see and participate in demonstrations to eventually incorporate these new technologies in the Library and my classes.
