Hello to my Blog from ZOHO Writer!

ColorBlende.com - WEB 2.0

2007-07-24T06:37:00.000-07:00

This is a cool idea, but I thought the instructions on how to use it could have been better. I also like the one million masterpiece. I am submitting a picture to be a part of it. The idea of being part of the largest artistic collaboration of all time is right up my alley!

NEW TECHNOLOGIES!!!!

2007-07-18T12:45:00.000-07:00

I have loved participating in New Technologies- I have learned far more than I envisioned and really believe this will help me at my job. I can already see how I am going to use Library Thing to showcase new titles for free! I have begun sharing my blog with friends and family and they are enjoying my new knowledge as well. Calvin love watching YouTube dog videos!Thank you Alicia and PLAN for letting us "PLAY!"

NET LIBRARY

2007-07-18T12:43:00.000-07:00

We had Net Library at Gulf Coast Community College and we found it very useful for students around research paper time because they could always find a book online to use for a source, even if all of the hard-bound print copies were checked out. I think for college libraries and public libraries, Net Library is a nice service to offer.

I like being able to look at previews of movies or tv shows. I hope to win the MP3 player to use for the music aspect of Yahoo...We'll see!

Book Lovers Wiki

2007-07-18T11:58:00.000-07:00

Book Lovers Wiki I really like this!

Wikipedia

2007-07-18T11:54:00.000-07:00

I LOVE WIKIPEDIA!!!!I think this is one of the best new technologies for it's usefulness out there! If one need some quick and I believe reliable info fast...wikipedia is the way to go!

Library 2.0

2007-07-18T11:51:00.000-07:00

I think it's a terrific idea, but I agree that "One of the principles I would add to the Library 2.0 meme is that “the Library is human” because it makes the library a social and emotionally engaging center for learning and experience. Librarian 2.0, then, is the “strategy guide” for helping users find information, gather knowledge and create content." (Michael Stephens- OCLC Newsletter,No.2,ISSN: 1559-0011,2006)

Del.i.cious

2007-07-18T11:30:00.000-07:00

I like del.i.ci.ous- It is very convenient to use the social bookmarking tool when one uses more than one computer!

Rollyo

2007-07-18T11:26:00.000-07:00

I sure wish all of these cool things would use the same terminology to give directions. It is very difficult and time consuming to try to figure out how to put the toys on the blog. Rollyo is an ok tool, but it wasn't as impressive as some of the other toys we have played with.

Web sites and Loading Times

2007-07-11T08:28:00.000-07:00

Since I began this class, I have really noticed the problems some web sites have with loading times. Even some sites where you would think the person in charge of web dev would know better. I want to go into their sites and fix the problems!

YouTube

2007-06-25T12:57:00.000-07:00

I guess I am sort of out of the loop, but today is the first time I have looked at YouTube. It is fascinating. I really want to go home and make a video of my dog howling. It really seems like technology is changing too fast to keep up!!

Flickr Groups

2007-06-25T08:28:00.000-07:00

I have joined a photography group on flickr called Amateur Digital Photography/Help and Ideas.

I love FLICKR!!! I am so impressed with this site and what it does. I found some art students' photography from Atlanta using the mapper function.

Attitude is everything!

2007-06-01T09:59:00.000-07:00

I have always believed that "attitude is everything." My goal is to become a confident webmaster. I see as my main obstacle- the ability to make time for myself to do my homework and practice. It is really hard once you leave the job to work on the computer at home...I am going to make the contract with myself to make the time for myself...My mother always had a cartoon up in her work room that said, "I will not 'should' on myself today." I think this works along with "I will, I can, and I do!"
