Thing 30-Summarize

Let me just say that it is over, and I feel pretty good about myself for finishing this project, now will I remember what I did, that is another story. The outcome of this program that surprised me was, I never have used MySpace, IM, Librarything, etc. I only use the computer for what I know about it. If I do not know something, then I ask someone to show me. I am a hands on person, you got to show me so that way I will understand it, but I am a quick learner. What you could have done to improve on this project is, not to move it so quickly, take your time on it, there are 12 months in a year, so there was plenty of time to work on it, there are quite a bit of us that have other tasks, projects, jobs to do, but we know we had a deadline to get this project done, and I was grateful you extended the deadline, for those of us that are much slower. The format was ok, nothing to change on that. If you offer another discovery program like this in the near future, Yes I would try it out, god knows it wouldn't hurt to learn new things, but also again, I am a hands on person, so reading it helps, but showing me helps alot better. I did not mind participating in this learning 2.0 experience, but let me tell you I am glad it is over.



Lastly, where is my MP3 player-I am ready for it. I know, we are to receive it at the All Staff Training Day.


Well, that is all.

Thing 29-Learning Experience w/2.0

What can I say, but only one more Thing to go and then I am finished. Well, it wasn't too bad, but I do know that this was a great opportunity to learn new tools with technology, and also to see what might happen in the future with the library department. Now, will I remember what I did in all of these things-probably not, but I did try. Now, at times I felt that you were being rushed to finish the Things during that week as scheduled , and then next week as scheduled, and so on. I felt, that maybe we could have worked together as a group instead of by yourself, I would have not felt so overwhelemed by all of this. I am a hands on person, reading things sometimes gets me puzzled/confused, but if you show me, then I can follow along much better and learn much better. I did check some of my other peers blogs-some of them went all the way, and some of them like me just went with the flow. Overall, it was a great experience, but I am glad it is almost over with. I'm not much into blogging, IM, YouTube, I am just an average person that goes with the flow with computers, or what interests me that is. However, I am willing to try new things even if it is with technology.

Thing 28-Rollyo

I really liked checking this out. I looked at Free Photos, and checked out the celeb photos. I thought this was a great site to browse through. Now, when I started browsing and wanting to get more information, then I noticed that you had to join to get that information you needed-now I did not like that at all. Bascially, I did not want to sign up for another account. I try to remember the accounts I have and passwords, but answer to the question I think this would be a great site for anyone to use. Now, moving on to Thing 29-almost done with Learning 2.0.

Thing 27-Library Thing

I really enjoyed doing Thing 27. This was real exciting for me. You got to set up your own catalog with the books that you enjoy. This was a great idea. I believe everyone would enjoy doing Thing 27. The link to check out my catalog on library thing is:
www.librarything.com/catalog.php

So check it out. Until next time.

Thing 26-Online Image Generator

WOW-now this was exciting to try and do. I loved doing this one. I had a co-worker show me, but afterwards- I am still amazed of what I had learned. It's a pic of Ben and me. What you can do, let me tell you is so awesome. Now, will I remember what I was showed, and what I did is another thing. Again, this was really neat to do and try. Everyone should atleast try it or do it. Until next time.

Thing 25-Podcasting and Libraries

I thought this site was neat. I checked out Sheridan Libraries Podcasts, and there site was very user friendly. In fact some of the information it had reminded me of our own website. Again, I read, I looked at, I tried what I did or coud know, but again this is not my cup of tea. I think if you have customers that want to know or learn about podcasts more power to them. This could be useful information for customers too. Anyhow, that is all I have to say about that. Until next time.

Thing 24-Podcasts

I had trouble with this one. One of the tools you clicked on it would not allow to access, so I chose another one, and I am sorry I could not locate anything dealing with the library or anything about library news. Now, I did like the yahoo podcasts-audio part, however, some of the downloads you have to fork over money to purchase-which I did not like about. Over all I read it, I looked at it, and tried what I could, but again this not my cup of tea. That is all this time.

Thing 23-You Tube

What can I say except this was a neat site. It sure back alot of memories especially the 70's commericals. I especially liked the slinky, inchworm ones the best. The McDonld's commerical was so funny. In fact I remembered when it was on TV. I can't say I disliked this site, but it is not my cup of tea. I did some looking, and reading and from that I have learned quite a bit. YouTube is neat, but not for me. That is all I got to say about this.

Thing 22-Flickr, mashups and 3rd party sites

OH MY GOD-am I totally lost-yes, but may I say WOW too. This is amazing of what you can do. I think it is really neat that you can make your own trading cards. WOW-how amazing is that. Who would ever thought that there would be "library trading cards". I think this is really neat, but again not my cup of tea. If you are really into doing stuff like this, then this is for you, but I am just an average girl. It is also amazing that you can make maps, match pictures to a specific color and create a photo mosaic from photos found on Flickr-now that was pretty neat. Well, that is all this time.

Thing 21-More Flickr and tagging

What can I say, except I think it is real neat that you can make books, cards, frame prints and beyond more than that with Flickr, especially if you enjoy being creative. Now, I think the tagging of your photos is really neat too, because just say your looking for a specific picture and you need it right now, you tag your pictures and bam look for the pictures, and bam you got your certain picture that you needed. That was awesome. Both are really neat, if it is your cup of tea.

Thing 20-Flickr

What can I say about Flickr, except that if you like taking pictures and posting them on the web then this site is for you. I on the other hand wouldn't want to post pictures on the web to me that is private. Unless it was only family members then I may consider sending them. What can I say but I am old fashion gal, I do not even have a digital camera yet. However, if I enjoyed taking lots of pictures and enjoyed posting them, then yes this site is great for it. I could share it with everyone, or whoever would love to see them. Again, wow technology what we do without it.


Thanks Diane for letting us use your flickr site. I like to say that it is a pleasure working with a great bunch of people at OF. You all are awesome.


Here is the site www.flickr.com/photos/vbdiane

Thing 19-Web 2.0 Awards List

Now-I thought this was awesome. I had a co-worker walk me through it and when everything was done-like I said WOW, I am impressed about this. I loved it, I really do not dislike anything about this. The sites were very useful. I could definitely see applications use in the library system. I went through igoogle-which now I believe I have an account through, if i set it up right. I liked that you could add different lists to your igoogle page. I thought I loved the social networking better, but this so far is the one I like the best. I think I am getting to understand a little of each thing, but then sometimes I get overwhelmed. Basically, I just try and take each day as it comes. Until next thing.
