Week 7- Wiki

I know I am doing them all out of order but my defence is that I asked Christian and he said it was OK... I have had some exposure to Wiki's at work and assisting my daughter with research. however checking out the links was interesting especially library Success wiki which had some interesting information about outreach and marketing. I learnt a new word "hacks" ?? which is a way to share info.. it used to have a different meaning. I can see how the new library website is using the web 2 technology...I especially like the links to delicious...

Week 9 Podcasts, video & downloadable audo.

I am jumping around here a bit but i thought I would do the easy ones first. having 2 teenage children I am well aware of Youtube, as my sone often watches Collingwood highlights and my daughter watches band clips. Tried to upload a short video of Myron (the dog) answering me back when he was asked to go outside, but found that for the size of the file it would have taken about 1 1/2 hours to complete, even though it was only a 3 minute video, must ask Christian about that one.

Podcasts- well as the introduction says it includes video, but recently I heard Chris use the word vodcast...which I assume is video and audio. My friend from the US sent me a link to a radio station's website which had a podcast link of an interview with the author of one of the books I have read and is on my Blog Look me in the Eye by John Elder Robinson, so that was really exciting for me. I love the internet!!!!

Down loadable Audio Book Titles- Had a quick look at this it would be great for libraries and think of the savings in purchasing talking books, much more portable as well. the graphics on the story I checked out was really good....

Starting again

OK OK I'm trying to get back into it to complete the tasks, but having trouble...will have to ask Christain to help me get back on track as I have until the end of July 08 to complete...

News Feeds Week 9

I think i get it these sites help you find RSS feeds which you can save into your bloglines account

RSS Feeds

Well got through this exercise easy when you have someone helping.

Week 5- Image Generator

At this stage I don't know I got here ..this is my third attempt to publish this....I liked the tool that allowed you to publish your own calender...that is handy to know...too bad I don't have the time to do more with all this knowledge

Week 4- RSS Feeds

Everyone has been saying the RSS Feeds are difficult and I would have to agree, went to the site thought it couldn't be that hard- just follow the instructions?? Well that didn't work, as for the training being "organic" call me old fashion, you are either being trained or given a few websites and "work it out yourself", I think Web 2 is the latter, and being a baby boomer I am not very happy with this process. Initially I was all excited about Web 2...now I am just frustrated and have been been putting off going in and having another go...but I have to as I will be left behind. Better go and pat the dog....
