Week 10: #23

thoughts,
well, there are plenty of podcasts for language learners, for when they've finished or are waiting for CDs to check out,
I like Picnik, except now, you have to pay for the cool stuff (it was free when we had our lessons on photo stuff) I've already spent 30'-hour helping a 15 yr edit photos with Picnik to put on her myspace

maybe i'll think of something else later

Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media

we use overdrive at our house all the time. My 11 year old has 3 or 4 titles checked out right now and has 2 on hold. I also burned some CDs of Italian language learning and sent to my studenta di Italiano.

Week 9: #21 Podcasts

i looked at a couple of the directories. I found one for my daughter to use to help her in her Italian studies. Someday I will listen to the whole episode "fiasco" on thisamericanlife.org. I';ve listened to the first 10 mintutes a couple of times--still hilarious.

Week 8: #19 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops

so i've signed up for zoho, haven't had time to really try it out yet, but i do have plans for using it to keep my blood sugar log - so then i can document when i test at work and when i test at home without having to write it down and transfer...

Week 7: #16 So what's in a wiki?

so my blog is listed in the hcpl sandbox, and i added a page - it's the cooking lesson with the recipe for popcorn balls

Week 7: #17 Blog About Technology

actually I did post a comment on someone's blog - she had a pic, looked like from the 60s of a bunch of women looking up at something, and I asked what they were looking at. This was a while back though, and i haven't gone back to see if she answered my question.

Week 8: #18 Social Networking:

I actually already had a facebook account - I got so I can keep an eye on my daughter who's at college now. A few years ago she had a xanga account, but that went out of vogue, then she had a myspace, now facebook is the site of choice for college peeps apparently, myspace is still what everybody (read middle school and high schoolers) uses at the library.

here's the website in case the video doesn't load up

why does a librarian need this? so when all your adolescent (sp?) boys start dancing around the library when someone pulls up this song on a computer - all staff can join in
