#23 The End ?

My favorite discoveries were Zoho writer, Lolcats and photo links like Flickr.
The program affected my lifelog learning goals by teaching me more about using the computer. I know that sound elementary but that's how I am. The surprises were that it is true that there is so much out there to explore. I heard that, but now I know that it is TRUE. It impressed me that I can learn. I truly am glad I participated, even though some days it was on the difficult side for me.

To improve I don't know.

I would participate again.

Thank you for giving me this chance.

#22 Overdrive

My findings on Overdrive. I started an accout. You do it by library card # and a pin #. I searched some and found a small collection. I looked up Jodi Picoult and didn't find any entries. I did find a title for Eileen Goudge and will try to download later. I'm listening to Lady in Red and am just about finished and enjoyed it very much.

#21 PODCAST

My experience about Podcast was: Checked the directory and tried Hobbies and on to Cooking. Time was at a premium at this time of the day. Found it slow loading. Added to my bloglines. I would like to go back to explore when there is more time to browse.

#20 YOUTUBE EXERCISE

I viewed some sites and some were questionable and I found no boundaries to stop you. I settled on a safe one FUNNY CATS, it was very entertaining. I'll go back to check things out when I have time to have fun w/YOUTUBE. It was all that I heard it to be.

#19 Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

Web 2.0 Awards assignment was to view and pick a site. I visited several : Food Cat. I'm Cooked and didn't find what I thought it would be. Events Cat. was more of a schedule and I thought it would be curret events in the news. Photos Cat was adding your own photo which I don't have much at this time. Viewed Picnik in that Cat. Ended up on the Travel Cat and chose BOO which I never heard of and found it to be of interest and will visit again. I have several destinations that I would like to look at again. All the categories were so vague and I had to spend time to check different sites.

Zoho Writer

 

Learneda little about Zoho Writer and it can be used anywhere around the world. Maybe some day I'll just do that.  It's like a word processor.  I'm trying the different features and find that it is exploring for me. I don't have much to say but have enjoyed it.

THOUGHTS ON WIKI

I viewed the sites listed and many are for librarians or if you're subject minded in looking things up. Library Success was for librarians also. The New Orleans ALA Conference would interest those who would want to attend an ALA event. Book Lovers was the one of interest to me to look further if my favorites are reviewed and if I agreed. Also Wiki had examples of other libraries.
