Hi Sarah! Just starting the wiki collaboration. We need to figure out a time when we can get started on this project. I am in Florida from the 22nd-28th so I will not be able to do much within the next two weeks, but after that I am ready to get down to business! Do you have any ideas yet for a 2.0 tool to introduce to a library? I was thinking we could do a public library, either one like Portsmouth or North Kingstown, but we can discuss soon. :o)

Hey Colleen: let's definitely chat about specifics when you get home, but in the meantime, let's use the space to brainstorm regarding both the type of library setting and the 2.0 tool we're most interesting in introducing. I think it's always really useful to choose something which is new to us both, so that we have the opportunity to innovate and learn ourselves. It also helps to have experience working with the newest technology as we head out into the real world. Adding new tech skills is important for our respective resumes, and also helps to keep us both relevant in today's exponentially quickly changing world as well as in practice evolving with new tools. I'd love to try something with video, as it appeals on an accessible level, particularly to 21st century learners, but also to users for whom English is not their native language. So many ideas can be translated without a common language when utilizing film. What do you think?

So, jing video it is...I'm excited to get started on this collaboration! I think there are so many ways we can help them maximize their virtual presence...

Great Skype session Sarah! I've never done that before, and it was fun. Now I will be skyping everyone! Makes perfect sense for the class too :o) Here's a summary of what we discussed.

Portsmouth Public Library - Implementing a Jing video to download an e-book from Overdrive to a Kindle

We will separate out the following sections to start the project: Community info and library info - me Part I: I will take sections 1, 3, 4.c, 4.d, 5, 6, 8 and 9 - you have the others Part II: You will make the actual Jing video because you have the super awesome version, but I will post the general steps here in the Wiki since I have done it before and it will make it easier for you to get the video done.

We will continue to check in via text/email/facebook and Skype to see where each other is in the process. We will review each other's work for any additional ideas or contributions we want to make.

Any added notes or comments?
