Week 12 - successful networking

RR - I found this sort of networking to be interesting. To have facebook available in such websites as the National Musuem, The War Memorial is really keeping up with the times, which I only found out today. Facebook and My Space are just another world and I'm sure it is the way the world is turning. I think my little country library is not ready for facebook just yet!!!!

Week 11 - on line applications

RR - I didn't realise there was so much software available on the computer without installing them. Collaboration is such a good idea - I can really see it saves alot of time especially when you are so busy. It would work in our library in a number of areas. We could all set up a document on ideas on storytime and special events in the library. The author visit would make a good collaboration for the Riverina Regional Library and branches to use. The document could include introducing new ideas and improvements.

Week 10 - mashups

RR - Mashups are amazing - I really enjoyed creating my postage stamp. I have again discovered the hugh wide world of mashup etc. I'm really excited to show my children I can create a mashup. Using it in our library would be fun and to inform children/adults its available I think will be yet another tool to have in our library.

Week 8

RR - Week 8 was interesting "slamming the Boards" and the Taste web com. Also I found the yahoo 7 answers a really good tool. My library is in a country town so slamming the boards they would find interesting and following the slam boards. The knowledge and sharing the ideas is great, it gives the opportunity for everyone to enhance their views and to explore their knowledge.

Week 7 - Library thing and tagging

RR - I found the Library thing site amazing - a very strong tool. It offers so much and very informative. I found the site easy to work with and to find your way around. To add books and to rate, tag was easy - a great site for a beginner like me. I hope to continue adding books and making comments.

Week 5 - continued comment

Week 5 - I continued my wiki adventure and got onto my rivilister site through the Rivernia Library. I made a comment on their site -"useful sites". Rivilister is such a useful site and I'm looking forward to enjoyting it. It has lots of useful sites and information for everyone to enjoy.

you tube

week 6
I found my computer was really slow and I had trouble opening the you tube video clips. Most of the sites took too long to open - this may be a problem. However I didn't realise what you can find on you tube. I now know why its so popular with the children and even adults. Its very much a time waster. I will find it very useful for children with their essays and getting information.
