Week 21 Podcasts

I don't like to sound like a broken tape recorder, but due to Web Marshal and expired links I got no useful information on the topic of podcasting. I did try my friend Google, but unfortunately this time I was left disappointed.
I didn't give up easily, but could not afford to spend more then an hour on this futal quest. One day I might ask my 13 year old daughter to show me at home, but for now I had enouth.

Week 20

Due to my usual enemy the WEB MARSHAL, I couldn't explore the You Tube. I didn't give up and gone to yahoo and had little bit of a look there. I can see the fun in it, but the up load is too time consuming for my busy life. The sides are user friendly and I had a full success at my first try of adding the clip as an entry in my blog.

I LOVE pointy shoes!!!!!

Week 19 - Week of fun.

I sooo loved this week, with the freedom to go wherever I pleased.
I am sure that to anyone who knows me, it is not surprising that I went straight for the retail therapy.

My favourite from the list of winners was the Stylehive. I could just stay there forever and work my little golden credit card to death, if it wasn't for my husbands foresight and confiscation of the "magical piece of plastic". Regardless of this obstacle, I still enjoyed tremendously the exploration of this site. All the news and fresh points of view, much better then any fashion magazine.The amount of links to fallow and ease of access to more information made this really interesting.

I don't see any practical use for that in the library. We don't sell anything and in previous weeks we already explored some of the sites that could be highly beneficial and were listed among the winners under different categories.

week 17 more about Wiki

I tried to follow the provided instructions, but found impossible to add my blog name to the list at the end of the link that was provided in this weeks exercise. After clicking on the "edit" I was requested to log in and then the "edit" option just disappeared.
I tried different approach and created my own wiki to which I linked my blog. The costumer service at the Wiki is pretty good and I received some easy to follow instructions to do things. I think that was probably the reason why the instructions on Learning 2.0 were so poor, it was a cleaver way to guide me towards more extensive exploration of the Wiki.

Wikis

Wikis look like a great discussion tool. People world a part can create things together using this as a amazing vehicle for collaboration.

In the library system I see its use as a way to get opinions and ideas. Then the ideas can be taken further in to open dyscussions as a source of feedback from wide range of people, library users and nonusers.

Could make the library experiance even more interactive and feel less "stif" for the younger users.

We could have opinions about our collections and reviews of the items available in the library,or new books available for purchase, helping controlling our collections through collecting feedback from the “reading community”.

I don’t see Wikis as the best source of information, since there is no guarantee for the information to be correct.In my book a fakt should always be dry and untuched by emotions.
