Week 10 #23

We finally made it! It was a very interesting experience. I have explored and learned quiet a few things that I would not have done on my own. I really enjoyed the Library Thing and the photo editing sites. Most of these exercises that we did have helped me organize and minimize my time on the computer. Thanks for this learning experience.

Week 9 #22

I tried our hcpl ebranch and also the LibriVox and the Wowio. I liked ours-hcpl- better. I tried a few of my favorite authors like Stephen King and Janet Evanovich and Sandra Hill and only our ebranch had books by these authors. I had no luck with LibriVox and Wowio.

Week 9 #21

I checked out the podcast. I did find a few interesting things. On podcast.net I did find a few on genealogy that interest me and added to my feeds on bloglines.

Week 9 # 20

This is the first time checking out any of the video sites. I like the pets best. To me these video sites is like watching TV, which I don't like to do very much, so I'm really not into these sites. I think that a short video on our website could be useful to help promote some of our programs that we have at the library.

Video Producer

This is fun!

Week 8 # 19

Zoho writer was easy to use. I do not use MW very often but zoho seems just as easy to use. I like the idea that you can get to your doc's from any computer.

Week 8 #18

Til a few days ago I have never gone to any of the social networking sites. I did go to http://www.dogster.com/ and created an account for my dog. Now we have lots of new friends from all over the world.

Week 7 #17

I can remember growing up without computers, calculators, cell phones, video games, etc. I am just so amazed of all the advances the electronic world has made in just the last 20 years. I just cannot image what the next 20 years will bring. I think these items have greatly enriched most of our lives. But for a few people these "electronic toys" have become an obsession. Not to fear. There is help for everyone out there--free help to learn how to use these new "electronic toys" and free help for those who cannot kick their obsession of their "electronic toys".

Week 7 #16

I had no idea what a wiki was til today. I added my blog and a favorite movie. I think a wiki would be a good tool to use with our ongoing programs and one time programs. Having the people who attend post comments about the program. Maybe it would encourge more people to attend our programs.

Week 6 #15

Wow! So much information! Change is good, it helps us grow.

Week 6 # 14

Week 6 #13

I checked out Del.icio.us. I created an account. I seems like it will be a very useful tool for me.

Week 5 #12

I really like the calander they send with the due dates. I know that we get get reminders from horizon. But it is nice to have a backup.

week 5 #11

Week 5 #10

week 4 # 9

I did not find any icons on my favorite sites to subscribe to the feeds. I did like syndic8 of all the ones that I tried.

Week 4 # 8

Working with the Bloglines RSS feeds was very easy. I had no idea what RSS feeds were til I did this weeks assignment. So far the assignments have helped me with my computer skills and that is a good thing.
