wrapping up/conculusion

2008-03-30T14:44:00.000-07:00

I found flicker fun and very interesting and will go look at it some more to see what other exciting aspects I can discover and you tube was fun. I will probably go back and look into the podcast again to see if I can get them to work on my home computer didn't want to add things to the work computer. If you offer classes like this again i would give a longer time because at first there was time to work on them and then things got really busy at work, I would participate again and yes I can now knowledge that I know something about what customer talking about. I am glad that I am FINISHED NOW and but maybe stick to one topic for a little while for a few lessons because it was hard at times to apply it to everyday life and get into the topic and then we had to get going on the next lesson.

you tube and chocolate

2008-03-30T14:31:00.000-07:00

You tube can be used for booktalks and upcoming events at the library. I found the few youtubes on chocolate and since Easter to be cute and kind of fun but you have to be careful because it looks like there could be a lot of inappropriate videos out there and stuff that shouldn't be available to the everyone. http://youtube.com/watch?v=7NNZ5Jo51Y8

Wiki

2008-03-20T17:48:00.000-07:00

Wiki's could be used to hightlight different aspects of the history of the community you live in which customers could also add to too make the history of an area more complete and possibly have different view of events that took place in area making that history richer for everyone. Wiki's could also be used to hightlight collections that library has. A wiki for teen to add to give the events coming up at there school or what the score is of the latest sporting event. They could more of a feel for the community then just a fact and answer website.

tagging and social bookmarking

2008-03-13T14:28:00.000-07:00

I believe tagging websites and adding them together on one page so that you have all your favorite useful sites in one place and can access them from any computer is great. I tried once to set up my own account at delicious after MLA last year it isn't very user friendly and not intuitive but I am sure if I asked I possibly could find someone to help me by interpreting what I don't understand and actually make it work.

Podcasts

2008-03-06T13:48:00.000-08:00

I could see podcast being used by patrons as another source for research or adding to a computer presentation with "expert" podcast to back up what is being said in your presentation. Podcasts used To learn more about a topic and not have to read but just listen also good for auditory learners to use to pick up information of use to them. I wasn't able to add the podcast I wanted to my bloglines so was rather frustrating.

rollyo

2008-03-06T13:21:00.000-08:00

I could see using Rollyo if you had a bunch of sites under one category but in reference we usually deal with a puzzle with pieces from different puzzles that don't usually fit together so I went ahead and made a southern gospel music rollyo to meet my need to southern gospel out once in a while.

signs

2008-02-03T17:25:00.000-08:00

A sign generator wouldn't be nice if we could pick our own gas prices most of the rest of
the generators I was looking were about food probably because I am getting hungry but there are lot of fun ohttp://atom.smasher.org/gas-station/?p1=.50&p2=1.50&p3=3.00&l1=yes&l2=your&l3=dreaming&l4=will+prices+&l5=ever+come+downnes to try.

maps of the southern hemisphere

2008-02-03T17:02:00.000-08:00

they have cool maps and especially of the southern hemisphere and all the groups of pictures that can be put together and mapped on flicker.

all the photos

2008-02-03T16:48:00.000-08:00

I really enjoy flickr and wish that I could spend more time there especially the color picker but I just enjoy looking at all the photographs but must move on for now.

reaching

2008-01-21T20:29:00.000-08:00

Being informed about newest technology sometimes is like being on the edge of a flowing stream and reaching for the basics if you don't have the background knowledge to build on or the connection of how this is going to fit into your day to day challenges.

rss feeds

2008-01-21T19:51:00.000-08:00

Rss feeds are good place to keep track of what is going on out in the world because sometimes we get lost in our own world. I believe we can use them to keep up on current events and the weather so we can tell people if it is going to be a longer drive home because of conditions.

7 1/2 habits

2008-01-09T15:01:00.000-08:00

I would say the hardest is seeing problems as challenges especially when it comes to periodicals and the data base that we use to catalog them. The goal in mind for the end also gets a little murky.
