Well, this has been fun! I have really enjoyed learning new things and really really really enjoyed the playing part! 🙂 I loved flickr, youtube, and the wiki’s. I’m part of the group that disliked RSS feeds. (I will admit to that!) I know that I finish this with more confidence in my technical abilities and feel more up to date on the cool things out in cyberspace! (I think the term cyberspace is dated! Oops!) I hope that we do this again with 23 new things to LEARN AND PLAY!
MODLI November 1, 2008
I have used this feature before and LOVE IT!!! I have not downloaded a book but I have done audiobooks and enjoy using it. It is easy to use and fun! MODLI gets a thumbs up from me! 🙂
Podcast
OK I did find a pod cast on a library I was not able to look at it because the computer would not allow the download to happen. I like the idea of pod-casting and think that with some thought it could be implemented into libraries nationwide. I have posted a link to different comedy pod casts I suggest reading the content before listening!! http://www.podfeed.net/rss/15.xml
Youtube! October 20, 2008
Youtube is great! You miss something search and someone has posted it on Youtube! Best thing ever. People also post some of there own stuff! Here is a video someone put together about my favorite show the OFFICE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frOXRBLjG48
CML toolbox web 2.0
I posted a thought on the power tools page. I think that it is great we are highlighting the web and the cool things out there. If we are to be on track as the library of the future I think more tech things are needed and they should be helpful/user friendly.
Web 2.0
I choose craigslist.com. I have used this in past to look for things currently a car! I am not sure how the library would be able to use this. If there are big items to get rid of maybe posting them on the site would give us a better chance to sell on a wider scale. I am in love with craigslist and it is not the most user friendly at first but it gets better!
Google Docs
Ok, so I was not that crazy about google docs. I see the point in them I think. I really don’t know if I will use them much but it is a good thing to know about! 🙂
Playing with Wiki October 13, 2008
Ok, it took me a minute to figure out this part of the wiki but I did and still think it is an amazing tool. I think that I will be using it more in future. I think that wiki are pretty cool and I hope we do more with them later on!
WIKI September 27, 2008
I wish I knew about this sooner!! I am planning my vacation and this would have been very helpful! I think this is a great site to know about. I really see the Library being able to use this. We could set a WIKI bulletin board one for staff and one that the public can use to post events similar to the ones we have at branches now. I think more people would get to see the cool things that the library offers now. I can’t wait to use WIKI!!!
Delicous
I can see how this would be helpful in Cml workplace. I know we use the favorites now in marking websites that are often used and the problem then is if you are on a different computer you cannot access the favorites you have saved. I really think that this is a cool site and will try to use it more at work and at home.
