so long farewell

#23--done

finished. I am very glad that I completed this program. I never knew what these words meant before: "RSS" "feed" "blog" "wiki" "generators" "podcast." Now I do. I feel more confident and comfortable with all of this. My favorites were youtube and the generators. They were the most fun... The generators actually will come in handy with some of my craft/storytime/program ideas. good bye for now.

Week 9

#20 You Tube
Fun to play with. I added a video to my blog right here...(galveston)

#21 I added a crochet RSS feed to my bloglines account. I tried to view some podcasts on library related issues, but the problem was that I don't have Quick Time on my pc. They all required Quick Time. I'm confused about this because I thought podcasts did not require software downloads. maybe i'm doing something wrong. But I did so a library pod search and found some good ones.

#22 I checked out Project Gutenberg. I don't have an ipod so I can't download anywhere but my pc here. I will try to download once i get my mp3 player. :)

Week 8

#18 Google Docs.
I used Google Docs. Very much like regular word. Nice to know you can do this online. Very easy.

#19 Web 2.0 Awards
I explored Craig's List, which is a giant classified ad site. You can pretty much find anything you want anywhere. It was fun to see what is for sale.

Week 7

#16 wikis
I think that wikis are useful in a very general way. For quick definitions --also as a starting off point: sometimes they offer legitimate links at the bottom of the entry. I wouldn't use them as a real source though. Too unreliable.
#17 Sandbox
I can't seem to figure out how to add my blog to the favorites site. will do later.

Week 6

# 13 --Delicious
Kind of confusing. I will have to spend more time with this one. I will post more when I have a chance.

#14 Technocrati
I like that you can search for other peoples blogs by topic and keyword. I know that Pete Townshend has a blog and I searched for it but I can't tell if the one I found was really his or somebody's else pretending to be him. I think that may be a drawback to searching for blogs. Not sure if all of the information is accurate.

#15 Library 2.0
I understand that libraries need to change and are changing. But there is so much information out there that we have to be careful as to what is considered a reliable resource and what is not.

Week 5--Image Generators/Library Thing/Rollyo

This is the snowflake I made online. (generator exercise)

#11 I added 5 books to library thing: my link is http://www.librarything.com/catalog/smithc

#12 I made a reference searchroll on Rollyo.

Week 4 RSS

I added 10 feeds. kind of neat. I subscribed to Merlin. The easiest way to find feeds is to use the bloglines website.

Flickr Week 3

#5--Corrie ten Boom's pix is a public photo. I don't think I need to copyright the photographer. I found this photo on Flickr but I also remember this photo from the back cover of one of her books.

#6 I used the trading card generator. It may work for an idea I have of creating Mother Goose trading cards.

#7 I like email. I also like looking at satellite maps and zooming in really close over houses. I like being able to get the red eye out of photograpahs!

7 habits

I like to learn new things. goldfish care and crochet. It is fun.
