Outdated Technologies??

Earlier today at the CE Forum 2010 in Denver, we were talking about using e-readers and how some libraries have been implementing that technology into their collection development plans. Now, tonight I am reading a blog that list 11 technologies that are destined to be discontinued -- soon. Among those are fax machines, landline phones and -- wait - e-readers. Check it out at the Committed Sardine blog... just don't get too comfortable usin any one technology!!

CE Forum Day 1

State reports included a wide range of continuing education resources for all areas from literacy to technology and leadership. A Tech 2.0 Panel presented information about tools and personal learning networks including exploring Skype and Netvibes -- more info on the CEForum Wiki look under Forum 2010 Resources. Overviews and user reviews were presented on web conferencing tools: Elluminate, Adobe Connect, GoToMeeting, and Yugma.

Josephy Sanchez from Red Rocks Community College, presented an engaging talk about e-readers and cutting edge technology -- How 2.0 technology is really based on the same philosophy of libraries. How does that impact library services, policies and procedures.

CE Forum 2010

Sharon Morris and Michelle Gebhart have done an outstanding job of organizing the 2010 CE Forum. A wide variety of extra curricular activities after a day full of focusing on continuing education for librarians. Thanks a bunch.

Today we did a meet and greet at the State Library which is in the Department of Education building, then moseyed over to the Brown Palace to check in and clarify the schedule for the next couple of days.

Some of went to Lucky Strike for Bowling while others ventured into other areas of Denver cuisine.
