Thing 23

Now I have reached the end. the learning has just begun I guess. The program was basically good and easy to follow now I have to motivate myself further to go more into the things that interested me the most. I liked the images, library thing, ebooks and bits of other things. I have learnt its easier to do a blog than design a web page and wikki's are a thing to followup too. thank you to the organisers for this opportunity to see the Web from a different angle to my previous usage.Now onto the rest of my life long learning curve which is often vertical and somtimes scary just like if you were standing in this photo. Goodluck to all you library bloggers out there.

Thing 22

It just blows me away what is available on the net. I have checked out the ebooks site and there are so many stories to choose from and they are all free at this stage amazing!!

Both sites worth visiting again.

Thing 21

Podcasts seem useful if you miss out on a seminar or need to listen to a programme you have missed. A good way to listen to some music before you buy or download and it costs you money. There seems to be a lot of advertising to wade through and you would have to be careful opening some of the items too. My favourite is the ABC where you could catch up on programmes you have missed or need further information about.

After thought

This could be very useful in library land as a way of us country bumpkins being able to catch conferences or seminars we can't get to. Not sure about the delays in loading though. Maybe thats where podcasts will help.

WOW I DID IT

If you read the instructions properly you can sometimes succeed in a task wow am I clever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thing 20 cont

Well I don't know I've ended up with 2 links to You tube but no actual video footage on my blog. How did other people achieve this feat I ask??? I am just not into the 21st century I feel.

Thing 20

Well can't believe I am actually surfing You tube that's what my kids do when I want them to do homework or bring the washing in - not what I do. I must admit I did raise a laugh at a couple of sites one was the medieval library and the transition from scrolls to books much like my transition from books to Internet and web2.0. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ Another was a site my kids showed me about Harry Potter and a skit done by some puppets which was quite funny too. I will try and upload them to my blog hope it works.

Thing 19

Well I have had a bit of a surf around, Visited the Web 2.0 awards site and clicked on a few prize winners. The mashup sites which I believe are “social networking” sites don’t really interest me as I am into the old fashioned way of chatting face to face with people. Anyway Boxxet http://www.boxxet.com/ seemed fairly narrow but Ning http://www.ning.com/ l ooked a bit more friendly and easier to use.
I thought the wiki sites weren’t bad, liked wetpaint http://www.wetpaint.com/ lots of interesting travel, cooking and pet wikis. PBwiki http://pbwiki.com/ looked very business orientated but useful if you are into that type of thing. stikkipad http://stikipad.com/ looked OK too but having to pay would put you off.
43 things caught my eye to try after the 23 things Ha HA. http://www.43things.com/ full of lists of what people wanted to achieve in their lives interesting to read and may even be useful to motivate some!!! There's certainly lots of interesting ways of surfing the net and lots of fun things to do and read about if you are that way inclined.

Thing 18 cont

Now looked at Google docs. But time has run out and I need to go home. so TTFN
Why won't these things publish directly to my blog from the new accounts I have set up????

THING 18

So here is my first Zoho document. Hopefully I will be able to post it to my blog. I can see the universal uses for this thing. But not sure if I would use it a lot considering I have paid all that money for my microsoft packages. At least it helps Bill Gates donate to charities!!!!!

I didn't manage to get this on here directly from the Zoho account I had made. Not sure what I did wrong.???? Going back to investigate
