Task 23: Ta Da!

The Questions:
What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? I really liked Utube and igoogle
How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? : It's given me many more options and ways to search for stuff I like or for work
Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? Yeah: as above with igoogle
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? Some of the links didn't work so maybe they need checking every now and then
And last but not least…
If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate? Yeah OK...sigh

Cheers and thanks

Task 22

I already have a Facebook page so this was easy. Do I like Facebook? Not really. I was excited when I first created it by after a few hundred responses to be friends it wore off. I rarely go there but it was good for when my kids went on hols and I could keep up with their travels and photos.
It's good for reuniting with long lost pals. It's amazing who is out there googling your name.

Cheers

Task 21

I had promised myself that I would never ever Twitter and 30 seconds ago I 'twittered' for the first time. Blah, hate it so don't make me do it again. BORING....

tutorial 20

As you probably know, the tutorial site is unavailable so I found another to go to: http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/
I liked this podcast: Library Geeks
Welcome to Library Geeks, where librarians, geeks, and geek librarians geek out about libraries.

Task 19

Utube: Sigh...the video I chose to watch is the New Moon trailer
Questions:
What did you like or dislike about the site: Liked cause it's simple to use
and why did you choose the video that you did?simply because I am a huge Twilight fan (along with a billion others).
Can you see any features or componets of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites?: Great for searching genres.

PS. Music was great too :)
Cheers

Task 18

I like igoogle especially the add ins. I added word of the day, quotes of the day:
(It's a lot like nature. You only have as many animals as the ecosystem can support and you only have as many friends as you can tolerate the bitching of. - Randy K. Milholland
Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms. - Alan Corenk
Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person? - Francois de La Rochefoucauld, )
weather maps, and free sudoku puzzles. This'll be great for home too. Oh, the instant that I created this page, I had a friend ready and waiting. Spooky!

Task 17

Google maps...gotta love em. I do feel a teensy bit of a voyeur though. But I bet I'm not the only one having a good look around our own neighbourhood. I use Google maps quite a bit and I'm sure everyone else does too so I won't keep waffling.
Google docs again was OK. Did the task and now on to the next one.

Cheers
