THANK YOU

WEEK 10 # 23 - IS THIS REALLY THE END?

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
I really cannot believe what I
accomplished in doing 23 things.
I was very much in the dark when
it came to any of these things
we did on IHCPL. Thank you for
giving me the chance to explore and
reach out beyond my limitations.
Each exercise was something new and
challenging, yet exciting. I love
the Library Elf, You Tube, posting
pictures and the downloadable media.
It has given me much more confidence.
And now I even have a BLOG. Who would
have thought!

WEEK 9 # 22 - Downloadable Media

This was fun. Ever since
my daughter's wedding, I love
listening to string quartet music
and I found a site where I can
download that type of music.
Also saw some mystery books and
cookbooks, my favorites. I found
that HCPL's digital site was much
easier to manuver around and clearer
to understand than the free sites.
I would definitely use this site.

WEEK 9 # 21 - Podcasts, Smodcasts

This was quite interesting.
I found several podcasts that
were quite interesting. There was
one called "Princeton Review
Vocabulary Minute" where you
can learn 4 words in 60 seconds
just with the short songs they
teach you. Kids know all the words
to songs, but don't have a clue
what their teacher just said. Then
also there was the "Thomas Ford
Memorial Library" which does teen
reviews on books. That's pretty neat
to get them involved. Also "Commuter
Reviews" where this man has an hour
commute and he will review books, movies
or music that you email him. Get someone's
opinion which sometimes can be helpful.

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 9 # 20 Discover You Tube & Other Video Sharing Sites

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.
