Week 9 Summary

Yeah! I 've finished! It took quite a bit of time but I am happy to have done it. I have to admit there was some frustration involved.
I do feel that I have learned a lot. I did most of the work at home and it took more time than I thought it would. When I got stuck I called or asked someone when I came to work. Again thanks to all who helped.
When I first started Web 2.0 learning I didn't even know much about blogs. Now I have my own blog and I am now familiar with blogs, wikis, googledocs, librarythings, podcasts, youtube, Flickr, RSS feeds, bloglines . Wow!
I do feel it has been a worthwhile experience and am glad I participated!

Week 9 Overdrive or NetLibrary

Yeah! I am at least somewhat familiar with Overdrive and NetLibrary. I went to a workshop when we first started with Overdrive and downloaded an E Book. I haven't downloaded an audiobook yet. I opened an account with NetLibrary when we first got it. May be time for another one!
In the future I am going to try to download an audiobook.
I do get positive response from patrons who are downloading books.

week 9 - Podcasts

Doing web 2.0 learning gave me some exposure to podcasts as we had to listen to them to do our exercises. I went into the 3 different podcasts listed and the one I liked was the yahoo podcasts. The other 2 said I needed to install a missing plugin.. So I stopped there. I looked at the different podcasts in yahoo podcasts . I liked the NPR Books podcast and Tara helped me add it to my bloglines. Thanks, Tara. I'm glad you were working at Walkersville today!!!
I know what I was doing wrong. I was copying the wrong URL. Now I know. Just part of learning!

Week 9 - Youtube-Why gorillas arent allowed in the library

The Sesame Street video didn't play so I am trying another one!
