Week 10 #23 Grand Finale

The 23 things was great. I was able to learn about many things I didn't know about. I had heard of mostly everything, but I didn't know much about it. My favorite exercise was the flickr and photo editing. I was somewhat familiar with flickr, but I was able to learn much more. I didn't know anything about the mashups. I think by doing these exercises it showed that we never stop learning. With technology changing all the time this was a great way learn about it. I was really surprised by the number of blogs that are out there. I also enjoyed listening to the different podcasts. I couldn't believe how many podcasts are out there. As far as helping our customer's I think this a great exercise for them to do. I also liked the Zoho program that we learned about because I think it will help our customers a great deal. Overall, this program was great and I hope that we get to learn many other things.

Week 9 #22

I have been using Overdrive since we first obtained access to it. I really enjoy the Overdrive software. The only thing that I wish for is more audio books to be available. There is a great selection on there, but there's many more that I would like to be on there. Otherwise I recommend this to everyone that listens to audio books.

Week 9 #21 Podcast

I went through the different podcasts and found a few interesting things. After some difficulty I was able to send the rss feed to my bloglines. It has been a while since I used the rss feeds and it had slipped my mind, but working with it a little I was able to get it. I found a great podcast about insider Orlando. It talks about the many attractions of Orlando, for example Disney World, Universal Studios, and many more. This is a good podcast for those planning next years summer vacation.

This exercise was alot of fun! It was easy to do and enjoyable. But just like anything you do on the internet you have to be careful, because some things are inappropriate. Youtube was very easy to navigate and I was able to find many things that was interested in. This is one site I could spend most of the day looking through it.

Kids Video

week 8 #19 Zoho

Zoho writer is a great program for those that cannot afford to purchase the expensive Microsoft office programs. There are many kids that come to the library prepared to finish their work, but because of the library becoming busier and busier that's not always the case. Many times the kids don't bring disk and sometimes when they do the disks are damaged. The Zoho writer is a great way for them to save there work and print it later if necessary. This program will be a great for the library.

week 8 #18

I created a myspace account some time ago and I really like it. I was able to get in contact with friends from high school that I hadn't seen in a long time. I also am able to keep in touch with a friend that lives in Chicago. Even though we haven't seen each other in 7 years, we are to send pictures of our families to each other. I think this is a great way to keep communication between many old friends. The one the thing I don't like about myspace is that there is alot things that the teens put on there pages that are inappropriate. Myspace is supposed to block somethings, but they do miss a alot things.
