Part 23

My favorite dicoveries and exercises were, Pandors, Library Thing and good reads. I also enjoyed learning how to get and use pictures.
This program has taught me alot about whats out there so I can relate better to my children.
The unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised me was how much I didn't know.
On some of the more difficulte things you could offer more help.

Part 22

I signed up for Tumblr and made a post. I also checked out twitter. My thoughts on both of them was this, I thought they were similar to text messaging or instant messaging.

Part 21

Try as I may I was not able to do the video part. The video I wanted was Evanescence - My Immortal. I choose it because it make me think of someone I've lost. I didn't like the site because I wasn't able to figure out how to download the video. No I can't see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites, or other ways videos could be used.

Part 20

Well I've check out all the Podcasting stuff and I'm really not all that interested in it. But if I was it would be a great tool.

Part 19

I really like Pandora. I think my family will also enjoy it.
I tried last.fm, IMEEM, the audio book collection and so on. The only ones that really appealed to me were Pandora and last.fm. There wasn't anything that didn't appeal to me really. I think that a library could make use of all of them in one way or another. Yes, it's definitely something I would and am makeing use of. No, I don't think CDs are dead, I think we just have more options.

I think this is a great tool. Being able to access it from anywhere is fantastic.

Part 16

I think Wikis are a great tool to communicate on projects.

Part 17

I tried the blog readability test, it told me that my blog is at the elementary level. I'm guessing it because of my brief post.

Part 15

I joined both Library thing and Goodreads. I like Good reads better at this point because I can put down not only what I've read but what I'm reading and what I want to read.

Part 14

I found that the results are greater when searching under the blog postings.

Part 13

Can you see the potential of this tool for research assistance? Or just an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere?


I think both.

Part 12

Part 10 Social networks

I think we need to do what ever it takes to reach out to our youth and get them reading.

IM part 9

I think that that having a Meebome widget on our library home page for asking reference questions would be great as long as people were able to call in as well.

Part 8

Going to my favorite sites was easiest for me. I could see RSS being used by the library to answer patron questions.

RSS

It's a great to for those people who spend a lot of time on the net.

To bad you can't see the picture with out having to click on it.

Part 5

Wow! It took awhile to figure out how to do this part.

I wish I had a sewing room like this one, or even a sewing room.

7 1/2 lifelong learning habits

The easiest lifelong learning habits for me are: begin with the end in mind, accept responsibility for my own learning, view problems as challenges, and teach and mentor others. The hardest is having the confidence in my self as a competent, effective learner.
