Esteemed colleagues.

I am still thinking over the web 2.0 issue, should it be taught as a
"standard" or not. This is an area where I have some strong opinions, but am
open to discussion.

I would like to try something out if anyone else is interested.

On my blog (which I have had for several years but not really "developed it"
into anything) I have posted copies of my original LM_NET posts.
http://hharnoldlibrary.blog-city.com/

I invite anyone who would like to continue this discussion to leave a
comment on the blog. After a bit I would be willing to summarize the
discussion back to LM_NET.

On a side note, I remember someone posting a comment "We have no business
reading to students." The comment was meant not so much against reading as
that we should be focusing on technology skills instead. In thinking about
this, it seems to me that as librarians it wasn't/isn't our ability to read
stories to students but our knowledge of WHAT to read to students and how to
encourage students to go beyond what we read to them. Is the same true of
the technology? If our job is to "teach" technology, why should that be a
librarian as opposed to a technology teacher?

As always, LM_NET has be thinking.
