Week # 9 SUMMARIZE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

I really liked 23 Things. At first, it seemed overwhelming. I am glad it was broken down into steps and activities. Breaking it down into weeks also helped.

I really liked Flikr. Nadine's sister had twins and she posted the girls pictures on Flikr for us to view. They are awesome. I liked playing with my avatar-it was just like 21st century paper dolls. It took me some time to get a free avatar. Believe me, I am old enough to remember the real paper dolls from the magazines. It took me some time to get a free avatar. All the outfits that I chose cost money---but they were so pretty.

I liked the self publishing sites. This is a great way for a writer to publish his or her work without the frustration of being rejected by a publishing house.

I liked YouTube. It can say a lot about us as a people. I am on the Great Books committee and that is what we have been reading about. It was great to see Melissa Manchester. Such a blast from the past-she looks just as good then as now! I learned a lot from YouTube-such as how to open my locked car with a tennis ball (which seems to work from the podcast), but I am doubtful that the cell phone door opened really works. You could see that his daughter had something under her cell phone and took it out clicked it and then put it back behind the cell phone. Didn't anyone look at the podcast before they posted it on the internet???

I think this was a good exercise because it broaded my horizons as to what is out there on the Internet. I can really see why people are spending hours and hours and hours on the Web. Some of the podcasts were really interesting and some were just so dumb.

I amazed my kids with my blog. I think they are in culture shock because their Mom has a blog.

I thing it would of been beneficial to have some training on the different categories before we tried it on our own. I also found out when trying to work on one activity for 4 hours (using different computers) that only certain computers in the branch could be used for certain activities. It is really frustrating for me not be a productive as I would like to be.

I would participate in the future if another course was offered and I had my supervisor's permission.

I think this was a good learning process that expanded my horizons into the world that is known on the Internet.

WEEK # 9 PODCASTS, VIDEO AND DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO ACTIVITY # 21

I looked at the tutorial about podcasting. It too a few tried and I even waited for it to load, but nothing happened. So I clicked out and came back and it loaded so that I could view the tutorial. Maybe so many people were trying to learn about podcasting it just got over loaded. I typed libeary in the search bos and got 63 results. It was fun seeing all the podcast. I saw the Prizker Military Library podcasts. It had to do with military history and military fiction. There are 179 podcasts on different events, author, books, and more. Pretty cool. Check it out at

WEEK #3 PODACAST, VIDEO & DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO ACTIVITY # 22

I went into the Project Gutenberg site. We started to explore this site when I was in LATI. The tutorial was very helpful and was very easy to follow. I typed in library on the search box and found 63 results. I looked ath te Prizker Military Library podcast. It was about the military history and fiction. the library was in Chicago Illinois. I then found 179 podcasts on different events, authors, and library related casts. It was really cool. I read the book An Egyptian Princess by Georg Ebers.

WEEK 9 PODCASTS, VIDEO & DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO ACTIVITY # 20

I really liked YouTube. I selected several podcasts to review. I liked the urban chef: spinach and ricatto dumplings. He showed you step by step how to make the dish, but not the measurements. It looked good especially at 10:30 in the morning. I then looked at several podcasts in the film and animation category. I viewed amazing chain reaction-the way things go. This was fab! Contained a mega chain event of sparklers, pirotechnics, coke bottle, wheel, tires,
ball on fire that swung round and round a pole like a tether ball, and oil fires. Great use of chemical reactions, chemistry and physics at work.

I learned how to unlock your car with a tennis ball, but was not impressed with how to unlock your car with your cell phone---bad reviews. don't watch it!
How to hack a coke machine was rather disterbing-teaching people how to steal cokes!

I then typed in Melissa Manchester and got several podcasts of her performances. It was like a blast from the past. Check it out!

Check out the link for YouTube and have fun! http://marylandlibrarieslearningacts.blogspot.com/2007/01/discover-youtube-and-few-sites-that.html
