Outcomes and Challenges

I am glad I had the chance to participate in this learning 2.0 program. There were some things I found very useful and there were some things I found as challenging. I think all employees who have done some or all of this training will benefit in some way. I never knew how to add links in emails and so forth, so that was one thing I picked up from this tutorial. Flickers, podcasts, you tube and so forth were very entertaining and helpful. But two favorite programs I learned about were Library Thing and Zoho Writer. Two tools I deem necessary to learn!!! Thanks for the challenges I encountered and I will go through some of these sites so I can show staff how to use them.

Audio books / Aesop's fables

The man who was reading the aesop fable that i downloaded had most pleasant voice. I will definitely visit this site again!

Podcasts

I didn't really like this idea, too much stuff to look through.......

You Tube

I chose three videos: Touch my Body by Mariah Carey, Love in This Club by Usher, and Lollipop by Lil Wayne. I chose these videos because the kids are always singing thses songs so I decided to see what they were all about. Lil Wayne's song Lollipop song talks about unmentionable things. Enough, oh my God, ENOUGH!!!!! DI GUSTING

Web2.0 awards

My favorite site to get on is library thing, it gives me the freedom to be me. See what I like on the site, read reviews about books that other people have written, and decide what books are good to buy or read. It would be a very useful site to decide whether you want to purchase a book for your library or not.

ZOHO WRITER

I played around with the zoho writer and couln't believe my eyes, zoho show was like Power Point with zing. Zoho sheet was like excel, kinda cool. But zoho writer just blew me away, this definitely would be nice to use on a regual basis!!!!

Wikis

I actually liked the wikis that I visited. I went to SJPCL Under Hobbies I found a book about sweaters, you can actually see whats in the book through the contents page, through a link posted in their catalog. In the Booklovers wiki I found a short synopsis of different books which I thought was really cool because the synopsis was given by people who had actually read the book. I think both of these wkiks would be very useful in libraries. I also wnt into other library wiki, it brought me to Sharing Resources, which showed what programs and classses are at toher university libraries and so forth, almost like a calendar that's shared with the public.
