Thing #22

I checked out Net Library and created my account under PLYMC link. There are lots of titles that I could read on the computer but I don't think I could sit in front of a computer screen reading a book. The Audio books I might use with my MP3 player. At least I learned more about using Net Library, which in turn will help patrons at the library.

Thing #21 Podcast

I enjoyed searching for different subjects in Podcastalley and Yahoo podcast and found one that I will use all of the time. Its on A Course in Miracles in Sedona Az. They have weekly podcast on different subjects with the course. Also in my searching for library things, I found one on book reviews. which could be used for librarian reference. I put a few RSS feeds for podcast into my blogline account. There is lots of information out there and podcast is one of the most interesting ones to find. Its like picking your own radio talk station anytime you want.

The reason I choose the YouTube video on the Four Agreements is, its one of my favorite books. The Four Agreements are: Don't take things Personal, Don't make assumptions, Be Impeccible with your Word and Do your Best. It has helped me with my life and relationships with people. So I choose this video to show people what this book is about and that maybe it will help them also. I enjoyed exploring different video's on YouTube. As far as using it for the library, it could be used to explain things to employees, like new things on the computer. Or maybe even Mr. Sears talking to all of us on a video. Or even talking about favorite books or new books on a video. Its a great way to communicate ideas!

This is really cool music site. You can choose the singer and make your own radio station. Bet you can't guess which male singer I made a radio station with? Check out Pandora.

Here are some of my favorite oldie games, I love to play Tetrix 2 and Splatman from Arcaplay. These are all from Web 2.0 awards. I am enjoying exploring all of the best sites in Web 2.0.

Thing # 18 continuted

Well look there, my letter I wrote in Zoho is appearing on my blog. I guess I did something right!

ZOHO WRITER

Thing # 18

This is my first time using Zoho Writer. So I am just experimenting with it. I find it very easy to use. Also, I think I will use this in the future for writing and a journal. Or even writing a letter to someone and printing it out or emailing. As I have been exploring Zoho, I just found all of the Templates in the Template Library. There are forms that my son can use for his business. And I found forms that my church might want to use in the future.

Its been so much fun working on my blog and soon it will come to a end. I hope that in the future, the library will have more challenges to work on, to learn more things on the computer.

So now I will try to send this to my blog. Lets see if I can figure this one out?

Signed,

Thing 16 & 17

Wiki for libraries are sure a fast way to find information on books or any subject. I found SJCPL Subject Guide the most interesting. It had a menu of subjects to choose from like cooking and photography. Its very similar to our library online catalog search. It would direct you to books in this library. Only thing with wiki is there is no control in the information that is put into Wiki. So how correct is this information? But I can use Wikipedia in the future for suggestions or information on things I am searching about.

PBWiki was really interesting. I could see how groups of people can take ideas in one place and share them with each other. Like the Learning 2.0 Wiki Sandbox PLCMC , where we could post ideas on favorite things and share them with our Library friends. I added my blog site to the PLCMC which was a lot easier than I thought.
