Finished!!!

Finished, I do believe and with not much time too spare. I have to say I enjoyed creating the blog, choosing a template, colors, downing loading or was that uploading images, etc. I do like learning all the new terms and knowing what is out there. It is amazing how may different sites are available for doing almost anything. I could have used more time, but then I probably would have still been behind. Yes, I would be willing to do another discovery program.

Face-to-Face Space

I'm not into e-mailing people, so I do not perceive my doing Face-to-Face, what an odd term when that is not what you are not doing! Give me the telephone or a cup of coffee at the kitchen table with friends and family. Use in library settings, I again leave that to those with more knowledge and interest.

Podcasts

I found "Books" on NPR and listened to Alan Alda being interviewed about his new book. Also, listened to some music and almost forgot to get back to work. I have to admit I found it a lot more entertaining than I thought I would.

Video

I thought viewing the campus through a new set of eyes, reminded me what a beautiful campus we have. Seeing it everyday one tends to forget.

Web 2.0 Tools

I checked out various subjects that were of interest. Useful, I'm not sure. I found them interesting and fun to play around with, as for applications for use in a library setting, I'll leave that for someone with more knowledge and interest.

Zoho Writer

I checked out Zoho and its features. Given more time, I think I would find uses for the templates and spreadsheets for both work and home.

Wiki

I found Book Lovers Wiki interesting, as I love to read. I also found SJCPL subject guide useful in locating books with special subjects.
A use for SJCPL subject guide would be helping students locate information for papers and for your own special interests.

Del.icio.us

I still think of delicious as a reference to the taste of food. I can see how it could be useful to someone who was doing research. Give me a piece of hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream, served with a cup of coffee.

Technorati

I did keyword search and found blogs, but I'm not sure I did Tag Search and Blog Directory searches correctly. Frankly, I'm not sure if I care, if fact I know I don't.

Rollyo

I searched Rollyo and can see where it would be useful for making searching multiple sites faster and easier.

I have my blogline set up and running. I think I will need to rethink some of my feeds once I use it more.

Looking for that pot of gold in Meigs County. No not the kind that is grown.

What technology means to me!
Technology
T - train
E - everyone
C - child (easy for them)
H - help
N - need more help
O - over the hill learner
L - lots of help
O - older people learn slower (speaking for myself)
G - gee, this is fun
Y - yeah, I finished the assignment

Hardest of the seven and half habits would be using new technolog to my advantage. I have a cell phone that I still have not programmed in any phone numbers, used the camera feature, voice mail, text messaging, etc. Heck, I don't remember to turn it on as my family can attest.

Easiest, play of course.
