WEEK 9 # 20 Discover You Tube

I posted a video about a sweet tired
cat. It was so cute, the kitty's head
is falling backwards while it's asleep.
And what a precious face that kitten
has. I was having some trouble posting
this video to my blog, until I read
your helpful hints. Thank you so much.
It was so easy then. There were some
cute videos on YouTube and then some
crazy weird ones.

WEEK 8 # 19 - Web-Base Apps.

I signed up for a free account in Zoho Writer.
I probably would never use this, but I think
it would be very beneficial to businesses and
college students. It's great that there's no
software to install and no USB drive or
diskettes needed. You can access documents
from any computer which is a plus. Also you
can add pictures to your documents or projects
which is nice. Very functional.

WEEK 8 # 18- Social Networking

My 2 favorite social networking sites were
dogster.com, cause I love dogs. Also
Rate My Space. One of my favorite hobbies
is decorating and in fact I just re-decorated
my guest room. Maybe I'll post a picture
of it. I love getting new ideas and seeing what
other people do. This has been a lot of fun.

WEEK 7 # 17 - Blog About Technology

When you think what it was like in the
50's and 60's, wow, we have come a
long way. Imagine what it will be like
in another 30 or 40 years. Unbelievable!
I love all the technology we have, just
learning to use it all can be challenging.
We purchased a new digital camera. I
thought it would be easy enough, but
instead of taking pictures I was taking
a movie. My husband is great at all this
new technology. My son-in-law is even
better. He can solve some of the problems
I have just over the phone. We are just
so dependent on all of this and kind of
feel like we're behind the times if we don't
keep up.

WEEK 7 # 16 - So What's in a Wiki?

This was interesting but at the same time
kind of scary. I added my blog to the
favorite blogs page on the IHCPL Wiki.
That was pretty easy. Looking at some of
these and being able to just go change
some info - I'm not quite sure of that.
As for library use, one could make a list
of books found pertaining to a research
project or certain subject. Then others
could add to it. That might help others
for future use.

WEEK 16 # 15- On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

It is so amazing what is out there
for the public. We must keep up
with the new technologies because
that is what they want. They still
want the "book collection", so they
can sit back and just chill and read
a book. One has to wonder what
things will be like in 20 - 30 years.
The library is such a great place!

Week 5 # 11- A Thing About Library Thing

It was quite easy getting the books, but had a bit of trouble tranferring it to my blog. Still not sure if I did it correctly.
