Thing 1 and Thing 2, or, "Here I go again..."

I started 23 Things in February of '09 through the State of CT, and got through some, but not all of it. Here I go again! As for the YouTube videos in Thing 1, I had seen the first of the two- very compelling stuff, good to be reminded about the importance of technology in the lives of our students, and the idea that many feel they have to "power-down" in order to come to school. The second video was interesting as well....the fact that the move from HTML to XML allows for focus on content, and format becomes very user-friendly.

I have two concerns as I look forward to this challenge: First of all, I find that my "non-digital" learning style has me frustrated with the nature of learning web 2.0: it is always changing, and therefore what I learn today may be irrelevant tomorrow! Secondly, I cannot get past my librarian way of looking at authority: web 2.0 is all about collaboartion, and blogs are 21st century news sources, but I can't help saying "who WROTE this?"
