The more I learn about Web 2.0 the more I love it! I think it's wonderful that there are sites available on the web like NetVibes, Protopage and PageFlakes that allow people to get organized. I don't know anyone who couldn't use a Personal Information Space! This tool can be changed and rearranged as the user's needs change. It allows the users to have all of their most important sites right at their fingertips. I think this will be a tool that librarians can use to help students and teacher- colleagues gather all of their resources into one place to make them more efficient at school. Librarians will have to keep up with the newest technologies and websites in order to help those students and teachers stay on the cutting edge. I can see "organization workshops" to get people started and notices on the librarian's blog or the library website to keep them updated.
The social bookmarking site Diigo would be an example of the type of channel a person could have on their information space. To me, the tags on Diigo are similar to keywords that help me to more easily categorize "bookmarked" Websites and to help others locate Websites that may possibly contain the information they are seeking. I think the more familiar I become with Diigo, the better I will be at naming tags in a way that will help others to find Websites that match their needs.
Hi friend! Nice to finally "see" you! :) Hope you're having a good day today.
ReplyDeleteHey, I finally figured out what you were talking about by "website widget" on NetVibes. Professor Lecrone messaged me back, also, and mentioned the "web page" widget and it solved all my problems! Soooo...if you still can't find the "website" widget you used before, try using the "web page" one. I think I'm addicted to NetVibes now. :) Talk soon!
