Little t and her big brother

Little Mama

This is my beautiful niece teresa but I call little mama or little t.

Summary

Before I summarize my thoughts about this program I want to say thank you to my fellow co-workers that helped me in the last couple of the assignments. Some times you need a little encouragment to push you along the finishing line.

This program has been a blessing from above because I did want to become somewhat tech savvy but I didn't know where to start or who to ask for help. When the Library discussed Learning 2.0 I was in it to win it. But, I did get side track half way but I was able to get on track again. Some of the assignments were easy like creating a blog page but what became harder for me was filling the blog page with RSS feeds, downloading a video from Youtube, adding a picture, and of course posting thoughts. The thing with learning 2.0 is that we have to keep up with it or else we will forget about all the applications we learned. I do remember and article about web. 3D and library 4.0 and how it is the next step to learning 2.0 I know can help customers that what to know how to download a picture to their myspace page for even blog page. I enjoy this learning activity and hope we can learning web. 3D and library 4.0 when it becomes available.

audiobooks

I looked at all three sites and for some reason this is a little harder to do then I thought. I will keep trying I will not give-up.

podcast

I do have an ipod and I do listen to podcast they're wonderful tools and it is so amazing how much technology has come about since I graduated from college.

Youtube

I like this video because it remains me that I do refer to the manuel when everything else goes wrong especially if it's the computer!


Web 2.0 awards

I have my regular sites that I visit when I am looking for travel and video information, such as travelocity.com and youtube.com but I have to say that I found great new sites. I definately like Kayak.com I did hear about the site but never clicked on the site. I is easy to navagate and doesn't take long to search for a flight or find an airport. Dailymotion.com a video search site that is better organized. When searching for events in Hartford I tend to look at the newspaper or community flyers, but eventful.com does it for you, it has a list of local events such as festivals and shows the number of them in your town, it's great. Lulu.com is a publishing site that allows you to create books, calenders, etc. you can design you cover for your book and pictures and more. Try it out everyone!
