WEEK 9 THING 23

I have mixed feelings about this project. I learned about many things i never knew about and learned how to use some of them. This was good. I enjoyed flickr. It was fun learning what I could do with pictures. I also found YouTube and podcasting interesting. I hope to use some of the bloglines i signed up for,especially the book reviews.
I do not like signing up for the various things. I don't like having all these passwords to remember and i do not like my name out their for all to see. I would suggest that there be some way of doing these things without having to register for all of them.
I think just knowing about some of these things will be helpful for my work with customers. I will be able to help them in using some of these tools.

Week 9 Thing 22

I read all about overdrive. I did not sign up as i was using a staff computer and did not want to use that machine to download to that machine. It is a great service and i know that someday i will be using it. I also read about the Gutenberg Project.

WEEK 9 THING 21

I found Yahoo to be the most useful of the sites listed for podcasts. On Podcast.net I wasn't able to find what i was looking for. I was trying to get book reviews and found "Between the Lines" on Yahoo. It had a nice selection of book reviews. I did not have time to listen to any but hope to try soon. I finally figured out how to post a podcast on my blogline and was able to do it by myself. Way to go girl.

Week 9 Thing 20

I used YouTube. I enjoyed it. I wish i had more time to spend looking at videos but I really don't. I watched the democratic debate on cnn where they used utube to ask questions. I don't think this is the greatest way to question the candidates but what is? I think YouTube can be useful for homework assignments. It might be an entry on a bibliography or it is a great resource for teachers who would be able to show some interesting subject or make a point to a class
