Week #10 - #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

YEAH!!!!!!!!! This is it!!!!

My favorite sites were - Podcasts - YouTube
Animoto
Avitar
Myspace

These sites and others that we learned about are very helpful for us, when a patron comes in and needs help -- we are website friendly!!!! This exercise forced us to learn different things available on the Internet and if we werent doing this, I don't think as many people would have done it. Good idea!!!

Have workshops for patrons at our library - I think its easier for people to learn and get help at the library.

I would like to learn any new things that are coming up - to keep up with what teenagers are doing (have one of those).

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Week #9 - #22 Downloadable Media

This week challenge was really awesome. Our library digital site is wonderful. Now is there is any questions from our patron, I am more fully informed that a couple of months ago. This is a very helpful site and have awesome downloads.

Week 9 #21 Podcasts, Smodcasts

It's obvious that I love recipes and cooking so I chose a cooking oriented podcast - it is called The Cooking Show. The last podcast in the series was all about using leftovers, like KFC, to create new meals. I added the feed to my Bloglines account. Now I have a total of thirteen feeds. Podcasting was a little tough, but new and interesting too!

Week #9 - # 20 Discover You Tube

Ha ha ha, I found a video of Elvis the library chicken!




This site is fantastic. Having a 'Youtube' can help library websites to post videos with helpful information for customers.

Week #8 - #19 - Web Based Apps

I learned alot this week setting up and using the Zoho site. I never knew it existed. This will come in handy when anywhere I travel. I love the way you can share with others what you type. This is great for all ages (school age, college kids, adults, etc.)
