Nebraska Learns 2.0 is an online learning program that encourages staff to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other.
Nebraska Learns 2.0 will be starting on Monday, October 6th and will continue for 16 weeks, ending on January 30, 2009. All Nebraska librarians, library staff, friends, and board members are welcome to participate. We encourage library directors to support their staff in participating by allowing work time to be used in pursuit of the program’s goals.
Over the course of the 16 weeks, the program will highlight “23 Things” and discovery exercises to help staff become familiar with Blogging, RSS, Instant Messaging, Flickr, Podcasting, and more.
Nebraska Learns 2.0 is based on the 23 Things Learning 2.0 program originally created by Helene Blowers at the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenberg County and has been previously offered as a state-wide program in states ranging from Montana to New Jersey.
More details will be coming soon, but for now there’s nothing for you to do other than mark your calendars. Successful completion of this program will earn you 15 CE credit hours and entry into a prize drawing.
Don’t miss this spectacular learning opportunity!

Are you starting a list of people to notify when this begins? If so, please include me.

Since we’re offering this state-wide, a list is not being kept. On October 6th we’ll be sending out a message to our mailing lists and posting instructions here on the blog.
Is this still starting today?
Yes. The post with the instructions just went up @ http://www.nlc.state.ne.us/blogs/NLC/2008/10/nebraska_learns_20_its_time_to.html
READY SET GO……………………..
