Social networking

This was an easy unit for me because, I admit it, I have an account with Facebook. I really enjoy because I have found classmates, friends, and family members that I have spoken to in years. You can create groups so this would be nice to create group with other librarians.

Office 2.0

This will be very handy. Now instead of being frustrated about being able to open a document because you do not have the right version, everyone who uses Office 2.0 will have the same version. This will be helpful if i ever need to look up a document and am not at the library. If we were a bigger library, I think this would be handy. I did not realize that this was even out there.

internet video

I enjoy this a lot better than podcasts.


This is my one of my favorite podcasts because if you look at the background you will see a truck with the paint missing. Yes, that is my husband's work truck. It happened that the day this was film, the person running for office was inside the building talking with us. I ran across this video by accident one time. I can see using youtube in the library by helping promote reading or even the library.

Podcasts

I have found that Podcasts is probalby my least favorite subject so far. I had a hard to concentrating on this unit. I did not mind the vodcasts but did not find too much that would pertain to the library. If anyone has any good ideas about implementing podcasts or vodcasts, I am open to any. I think probalby if I had probalby had to pick a favorite, I would say the vodcasts that were about cooking. I like to cook and like to learn how to do new ways of cooking.

Flickr2

I am not too sure about Flickr yet. Maybe I am missing something and it is easier than I am making it to be. I will need to play with it more. If I ever get use to it, I might try creating posters to promote reading at the library or for our fundraising that we will be doing thes next couple of months. Who knows for now?

Flickr

I think once I understand and work with Flickr it will be beneficial for my personal and work life. It will be nice to add photos of the library and our little town. I can not get my pic to upload. Aaaahhh! OK, need to take a break from it and come back later. So I have taken a break and going to try to figure this out again. I have enjoyed viewing the variety of pics and hope to find out that it is easier than I am making it be.

I am a Coca Cola fanatic. So of course I search for pics with 'coca cola' items. Can you tell by one of the photos that I have come across. http://www.flickr.com/photos/woccvbbk/888954214/
I never thought to take pics of random items so visiting flickr has sparked some creativity in me.

Today's blog

Is anyone else feeling confused and overwelmed as I am. I think that I understand what I am learning than I glance at the comments and other bloggers and feel I am evidently missing something. I think RSS and newsreaders will save a lot of time once I get the hang of it. It will be a lot easier for me to go to sites that I check out often faster. In my personal life as well, I feel this will be handy for me as well. If anyone has any helpful information on differents feeds to check, I would greatly appreciate it.

twitter learning

I discovered today that it is not a good thing to have a long period of time between courses. It is very easy to forget what you have previously learned. I found Twitter to be very interesting and helpful. However, with this being a very small library, I do not think it would be useful. Who knows I may have to give it a try sometime. I do admit though I am getting addicted to blogging. Until next time.
