The End!

Wow I can't believe that its over. It is hard to believe that this project is finished. I guess I am sad in away. I love learning new things and sharing them with everyone. I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did. Now it is off to the next thing! See you around!

Week 22 Mashups

When I started this week I didn't really know what a smash up was. But now I realize that I use them more than I thought. I use igoogle at home. I use Facebook on a daily basis. I have also started to create an online map of the library and current mobile library stops. http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=114323221354799781618.00045a011bd02b89dee23&z=12

Youtube - Week 21

I love Youtube or should I say I love watching things on Youtube. There have been who Saturday evenings spent watching different videos on Youtube. What I think is neat is that my five-year-old daughter loves watching videos on Youtube. She has even watched a few episodes of Jem and the Holigrams (this was my favorite show when I was a little girl). I don't know who besides me will remember this but here is a link to the show opener. I guess the only downfall would be is that I proablly would use this site to post my videos to. 1st of all because most of my videos are of my girls and second I don't know how save it would be. Plus I already post the videos on my Facebook account which I can make sure that only my friends will be able to view it. I would really hope that the library will have a YouTube video contest. I think that this would be a good way to engage our Teen population.

Second Life Week 20

What do I think? I don't really know. I have it on my computer here at work. I found it very difficult to move around. I have never been much in to playing rpgs so I find it hard to move around. Plus I have no sense of direction. I get lost very easily. I didn't even get past the tutorial so I didn't actually get in to SL. Oh Well!

The only reason that I could see a use for it would be if there were a large portion of service population using second life. Then I would want to create an online version of us. It would have links to our online databases, audiobooks, and NetLibrary. For me that is as far as my creativity goes.

Week 18 Postcasting

This week I had a good time. I subscribed to one of the channels using rss. Then I went to blogger and created my own postcast channel. Here is my post cast!

Week 17 - Surveying the Land

I like this week. I love polls. I don't know if I am weird or not. It's just me. This week has been fun.

I have added commenting to my blog. I really like to read comments on bogs but I don't really write anything on them. It is a good way to find out what others think about the particular posting that I am on.

I have used survey monkey in the past. It is really easy to use. I have created a survey! Click Here to take survey

Week 15 - Jott & Remember the Milk

This week was not as fun for me. I think that this is only because I don't think I would use anything like this as of right now. I use Google calendar and a good old fashion wall calender. It works perfectly fine for me. It is interesting though to see how technology is working to help us (people) with our short comings.

I didn't find Remember the Milk very easy to navigate once you were there. I just didn't feel comfortable. I am kind of stuck in a rutt. If I have to search it out it is no fun for me. I couldn't figure out with to publish the list. I know that was just an extra assignment but I was getting irritated because I couldnt' find it.

I didn't try out Jott. I think that it would be slightly more useful than Remember the milk but I still don't think I would use it. I hate being on the phone. I would rather sit down and email it or put it on the calendar. I guess i just don't have a need for any of these.
