Finished???

Even though I have completed the final weeks discover and explore activities, I will definitely have to revise a number of the weeks activities to reinforce it all in the grey matter.

The course has definitely opened up a whole new world to me and will definitely make a positive difference to my work and to the services I provide for our members.

Thank you for the time and effort it has taken in producing and servicing the course.

Week 12 - Social Networking

Finally - a nice easy week, which I could actually follow with no problems. - Of course is had to be the last didn't it!!

Not sure I'm really into Social Networking, or really see the benefits of it for our library, but it is definitely something that is the rage at the moment, and at least I now know the lingo.

Catching up

Having made a good start to the program, I have found the last few weeks (month???) have been extremely difficult in getting a fresh start at it.

However, I have managed to complete Week 11 - Online tools and applications. I have emailed a presentation to the Learning Web 2.0 crew and also spent some time on Zoho. After a short explore, I think Zoho is closer to other software than Google Docs. I also found emailing from Google docs was a bit difficult.

There are definate advantages in a library for both these programs.

Will know attack Week 12 while on a roll.

Mashups

While the concept seemed simple, it took a bit of meandering to figure out how to actually do a mashup, but looks like I've managed to accomplish it.

Where to this month??

On-line Education Database

Leaving and working in a rural environment, there is definite value in having lectures and study forums in the form of podcasts.

Pod Casting

There just seems to be no end to the cyber world and the next stage of the journey.

Not sure we have a need for podcasting in a small rural library, but you just never know.
