Wikis

Geez, just about got myself into trouble. I was working on Lesson 9, checking out the sites recommended, clicked on one titled 'funny sayings'. It wanted me to download a bunch of media stuff, I cancelled, it wouldn't let me out, kept going in circles, and finally I asked Stef for help and she (once again) saved my bacon.

But before that all happened, I was doing pretty good, checking out different sites that were recommended. I checked out the Wyoming Authors wiki (I was born & raised in Wyoming); I checked out the Montana Librarians "how to write children's books", and did a tour of Wikis. As soon as I can think of something our library could do to use a wiki site, I'll add it to this post.

So, for now......................Ciao

Bookmarking & Tagging

Wow! I feel like I'm weeks behind but actually I'm only behind one week. I've been learning about the tagging and bookmarking on delicious (?) and have set the buttons on my computer so I can keep things handy, like fliker, utube, friend's blogs, podcast sites (tho I won't be using that one much) and other new sites when I come across them. Most of my work-related bookmarks are on Windows 'favorites' already. Anyway, this has been very interesting and I feel I've learned alot of new things doing Library 2.0.

Cheers!

Catchin' Up!

I was out all last week with a travelin' bug and have only been in 3 days this week. I'm doing my Youtube lesson and it's very interesting.

It's taken me a while and finally had to ask for help from our "O Great Techie" to attach a video. There are all kinds of cute videos about kittens and cats and these guys are really fun. Another interesting video was titled PAPIROFLEXIA (Spanish for Origami - so it says).

I also like the funny commercials, Karen's "Hank" and Kim's video on the Librarian's song. I could spend alot of time browsing-about Youtube. I was trying to paste a picture, but have run out of time. It's back to work,

So, until next lesson..............Adios

PODCASTS

Podcasting must be fun for some people, young and old alike. I sorta understand the concept, but not much more than sorta. I listened to the Beginner's Guide to Podcasting: Part 1-A Consumers Guide, and I understand you can download music, talks, etc. I have added the URL below to my feeds and will try to add a couple more. I have a speaker on my computer (both at work and) at home so I will be able to listen to these podcasts. However, I do not plan to purchase an Ipod anytime soon.
