Podcast

I knew what a podcast was, but I did not know about the podcast directories. I looked at the npr directory but was unable to subcribe to any or even listen to any. This was because every site I went to was blocked. But this lesson was useful in knowing about the directories.

Youtube

I explored one of my favorite singers, Deniece Williams. I found two great vidoes, one with her singing with Tom Jones and then her singing the same song with Johnny Mathis. What cool finds. I think the library could share a lot of their programs using Youtube. I my even buy a digital cameral and start uploading videos my self.

Flickr once again

Wow! You can do a lot with you pictures on flickr. I particularly like the mashups. There are tons of things you can find to do with your photos. I like the jigsaw one. Maybe this xmas my gifts will be more personalized.

Flickr again

I like the fact that others can see the pictures that are online. I enjoyed looking at the library tags on flickr. It was interesting viewing pictures of what others were doing in their libraries. I think that it is a shame that people focus on the negative aspects of something that can enhance library communities. As with anything there are always people who will abuse whatever is presented to them. I also agree with the statement that the users are self policing. They want thier to tags to be and pictures to convey their message, so they watchout for those abusers. Out of all the tools I have learned about on 2.0, I will probably be using flckr the most.

Flickr

Flikr is a great way to upload and share pictures. I think the library could take pictures of programs and upload to flickr to share and not have to worry about files being to large. There are some great photos on this site. Check this winter scene. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mychatham/369614745/

website tools

I visited several booka nd game sites. It was interesting exploring . Useful tool on the site were the one such as rss, and blog post, the stuff I've been learning about.

tehnorati

This is one that I will add to my favorites. Eventhough I don't enjoy writing blogs, I do enjoy seeing what others are saying about different subjets. It's easy to use and the homepage in inviting and interesting. I see great uses of this for research.

del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is a great way to bookmark sites. I can see how it could could enhance the research process. It was easy and I like the sharing part of it.

to Myspace or not to Myspace

I like myspace and I can see why teens are attracted to it. It seems easy and I will attempt to create a page and see what happens. My opinion did not change about the site since I already knew about it. I do think parents should monitor their childs usage. I'm off to create a page.

Social Networking-yes/no

I don't enjoy communicating via computers but I do so when I have to. I do know people who love myspace and I think that is ok. It is just their thing. It can't hurt for libraries to use mysppace to connect with teens and teens would probably think that its great.
