The 23rd thing!!!!

Wow, I am here at the end.
The first thing that l want to do is turn right back around and jump in again.
But wait, if l do that l will not find yet more and more exciting things.
What a dilema.
To look back and revisit, or forge ahead into the unknow.
I choose to forge ahead!!
Time for a quick reflection though.
I am not old [well l don't think l am], yet these tools were not really on the horizon when l was
at primary and secondary school.
How many different ways we could have done our assignment, written our reports, charted out statistics.
Each person had to learn a task from the bottom up.Not now.
Just download a template and get on with the buisness of progress.
I love it.
I like all of the activities, all of the sites l visited.
I still do not know what l will use the Rollyo tool for, but who knows.
At least l have seen it, I know that it is there and most importantly, if any of our library users are looking for something to do that job l can tell them where to find it and how to use it!
I am pleased to have this knowledge and l thank the presenters of this program for the effort they have put in.
Whats Next?????

Audio books. Downloadable, Takehomable.



What a great resource, what a great site.

I have skipped to this exercise earlier, before actually writing up my posts.

I am zipping through today and doing the actual exercise of writing them up.

A bit cheeky, but when l go into this site l am "lost" for hours.

One thing leads to another, l wonder what a different search term will find and then l am back in the treasure trove lost in all of the items available.

Such a great site. I willbe back here many times in the future.

Podcasts, Smodcasts


I really like Podcasts.

The use of them in this Learning 2.0 exercise has been great.
It is much easier for me to learn and study with these great tools.
In the past l have studied on line and found it very "dry" and hard going.
As these new tools are added to theeducators arsinal, there will be no reason for us all not to be engaged in a series of learning exercises for many years to come.

I too, do YouTube

I am already a You Tube fan and look at this site often.
I have explored it many times in the past and in fact have put some links to some of the posts earlier in this blog.
I love, I think it's great and hope that it goes on forever.

Discovering Web 2.0 tools- Squidoo


I just looked at the winners. Some of the winners had already been explored by me in this Learning 2.0 adventure and so l looked at the ones l had not yet seen.
I like Squidoo.
It goes by the catch cry that everyone is an expert on something, and invites you to make a page on your area of expertise.
I like it!

Zoho Writer- Online Apps



This is a great resource.

Very quick to sign up, very easy to navigate.

So many times l am looking for templates rather than making my own and look in Excel and Word online.

I did not know that this resource was available. I will be a regular visitor to this site.

The document that I used for a practice was just on e of the templates they had, but l will go back and visit that site many times in the future.

Wiki Wiki you are wicked.


If i was to create a Wiki for my library, what would l put in it??
I would put us, the people who work there.
I would list our services, get coments, ideas and thoughts.
I would like titles to have reviews either good or bad, and would want our children and teens to be able to add their comments and redefine our service.
