#30 Spring Cleaning-Drives

I have previously used the different drives provided for us. I am currently in the process of moving all photos from past summer reading programs to flickr, as well as my personal photos. I did find that I had a few emails that I did not need to hold on to. I found one from December of 2006. I was able to look through it and delete and some of the other emails I put them in folders. My email is not so bad, but I do have to work on my drives. I have many pictures that I have to get rid of. That's going to take awhile, but in the end it will be alot faster to find what I am looking for.

#29 Spring Cleaning

I started cleaning out my email today. I already had a personal account and I have been forwarding anything that is non-work related to that account. I had some work to do on my work email. I went through and deleted many old emails and I also created folders for those that I needed to keep. I was able to sort my emails by themes. Since a big part of job has to do with the summer reading program I set it up to save all my information about my performers. I also set up a folder for things that just had to do with the children's programming. I really liked setting up the folders because now I can find information much faster.

#28 Spring Cleaning

I looked through the different list and my favorite was the google calendar. I set up an account and it only took a minute. I was able to add events to my calendar and set up reminders. It was that simple. The one called remember the milk was more of a to do list. I prefer to see the calendar setup. Once you have set your calendar that can be used as your to-do-list. I liked the google calendar because you can set it up to send you an email or give you a pop up reminder. Once you have all your information stored it will be easier to keep track of all the things you need to do.

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.
