The document discusses a Learning 2.0 program implemented at the Columbus Metropolitan Library to train staff on new technologies. Over the course of 9 weeks and 23 challenges, 540 staff members voluntarily participated in activities like blogging, tagging, and using podcasts and other online tools. Staff reported that the program increased their technology skills and ability to assist patrons. Key aspects of the successful program included encouraging play, empowering self-directed learning, providing incentives, and fostering a culture of sharing skills among the staff.

- 26. What staff said ...
- 27. It has already helped me assist borrowers with questions about the Internet and the resources the Library is offering.
- 29. I looked at the whole process as a dare - if the rest of the staff could do this, so could I as a representative of the over-60 crowd!
- 31. The most eye-opening part of Learning 2.0 for me has been the variety of ways that people can engage with each other socially online.
- 33. # 23 Thing, AT LAST! – I didn’t think I could do it, but I worked hard and here I am.
- 35. Thank for increasing my knowledge in Technology. If it hadn't been for you and Learning 2.0- my knowledge of technology would still been in a very small box.
- 37. I feel like Cinderella who just finished her chores in time to go to the Ball. (But the chores were a learning experience and hold promise for the future.)
- 39. I want to thank all those who made this Learning experience possible. I hope I get to talk to you personally to tell you how exciting it was to go through the program.
- 40. Overall I thought this was a crazy good program, really easy, and really made me think.
- 42. It helps to have nice little incentives of course, but I think the true reward (whether or not we want to admit it) is that we're improving our minds
- 44. Support staff learning & encourage all members of staff (especially mgmt & non PS) to participate. Build the program for late bloomers. Allow participants to blog anonymously Communicate regularly using 1.0 methods Focus on discovery & encourage challenges Encourage staff to use each other & work together. Remember that it’s not about acceptance or doing it right . It’s about exposure. Find funding for incentives – huge ROI !!! Practice transparency & radical trust & continually encourage staff to play!!!!! Best Practices
