Capetown Weather
Indeed knowledge is power...yesterday I was really tempted not to go to class because of the terrible weather but I couldn't because of my eagerness to learn and attain more knowledge,.we (me & Patricia) were so socked when we arrived in class, but I didn't regret being there because I enjoyed the lesson about Wiki, I guess I'll create my own sometime in future, because I understand their importance now.
Guys tell me how long is winter in Cape town? my beach attaire is still new, since I got here I've been longings to go to the beach,but the weather is never condusive. You know in Botswana winter only take 3-4 months, and it doesn't rain in winter. So my friends back at home cannot understand why I'm not sending to beach picture because they have long waited for them. The are now starting to doubt wether I'm really in Cape town because I always tell them the same weather story

Library 2.0
this class becomes interesting everytime... Yesterday I learnt about Library 2.o. and I found it quite remarkable.I learnt that Library 2.0 embraces web 2.0 technologies, it emphasis on taking services to the people unlike the traditional library that users came to to get service.
the other interesting thing about Library 2.0 is that users are not only consumer but they are co-content developers.
I've noticed that the academic libraries are taking the lead in trying to be Library 2.0 complaint, even our own UWC library doesnt want to be left behind. They have introduces knowledge commons, in the library which is quite impressive. other University libraries like Pretoria have blog,..
its was also discussed in class that nowadays to stay in business you have to provide instant service, because people just want instant everything 24/7. The library as an organisation cannot be left behind, thats why Library 2.0.
what I liked the most, that I learnt from class was the Library thing site, I thought it was quite handy. One can organise and catalog his/her book collection at home.

unbelievable
can you believe that last week, I had created a weblog, then I forgot my password and so I had to open a new one today , I spent the whole week scratching my head. I'm a masters student in the University of Western Cape, and I'm doing the course called ICT trends and application in LIS, It quite interesting because we are taught about what is really taking place ICT world or web world which is ever changing. Last week, we were taught about the importance of blog and how to create them. Today we were taught about Web 2.0 and it technologies.. how web 2.0 defers from web 1.o
