Summary

I have enjoyed doing this program. I've learned about things that I didn't know were out there. I'm not an expert at using some of them yet, but at least I know about them and can get to them if a patron asks. In all, I think this was a great learning experience.

Week 9 - Finished

I added a video to my blog with YouTube. I enjoyed this very much. I like this song, so that is why I chose this video. I also searched some podcasts. I didn't actually find one to post, though. I love Project Gutenburg. It is great to be able to read a book on line if you can't actually have a copy in your hands. It makes it a little hard to read in bed, though. These are all great sites to know about.

Week 8

After playing around with Zoho, I went to the Web 2.0 awards list. There I found some interesting sites. I enjoyed looking at several of them, but my favorite was RealTravel. Here you could look at places to visit all over the world and read other peoples blogs about their experiences traveling. I also liked the Medstory site and several others that are too many to mention.

I have just created a Zoho account.  So many passwords to remember.  This is a great site, though.  I had no idea Zoho existed.  Now you don't even need to have Word on your computer, you can just go to Zoho.  I love it.

Week 7

I spent some time looking at the different wikis. This is a great way to share information. I also posted my blog on the SandBox wiki. It took me some time to figure out how to do this. Thanks, Michelle, for your help.

Week 6

I spent quite a bit of time learning about Del.icio.us and Technorati. These were great sites to explore. I prefer Technorati. In Top Searches there were many things that were interesting to me, but especially the one about the Minneapolis Bridge that collapsed. I traveled this bridge several times while visiting with my husband in Wisconsin. As far as Web 2.0, Library 2.0 I feel Rick Anderson was so right when he said we needed to provide services to patrons that they can use without having to train them, like Flickr's "Blog This" & other one botton commands. What good is the info. if they don't understand how to get to it or use it?
