Thing 30 The End

Boy, there sure is a lot of technology going on out there. Who knew you could do so much on the computer.

Some of the exercises I couldn't get into or when I followed the instructions wouldn't work. So I did have to ask for assistance. I do better with step by step instructions to follow when I am not familiar with something or have no idea what I am doing.

We were given instructions that we were expected to complete this, it was not a choice.

Thing 29 Learning 2.0

I did like creating my blog and with help adding a picture to brighten it up. I also like going into YouTube on worktime and seeing some of the wild and crazy things on that site. I alos think LibraryThing is interesting. As far as MySpace, Tecnorati and some others that don't appeal to me I am not really interested.

I did like going in and looking at other blogs. Some of them are so creative. I thought Sense & Sensibility was a great blog! Great pictures and I just love that story!

I thought Dragonfly was great. My favorite colors and as soon as the blog came up I knew whose it was. Great job Titan!

Problems with dogs: I also knew whose blog this was as soon as it came up. What a cute picture of the terror of the house.

Thing 14 Reader's Advisory Wiki

I haven't actually read a book for pleasure in so long I can't even remember what the last one was, so I chose one I did for the Waves, Words, and Wonders storytime we had here at OF. I did have to ask for help about how to add my review to the site.

Thing 28 Rollyo

I created a search roll for Crafts & Activities (kids) and one for Recipes. I can see where this would be helpful to just go here to sites you have used over and over and found the information you were looking for.

Thing 27 LibraryThing

I had looked at this site in one of the exercises before and found it fascinating. I did create an account and added five titles I find interesting.

Thing 26 Image generator

I did find this particular one interesting. I found it from the subject listing on The Generator Blog.

Thing 25 podcasts and video

I did listen to Baby Duck in the Rain from one of the pod sites however I would prefer to see the pages of the book as opposed to the swirling images on the computer. I guess if this was a child's only type of exposure to books (which I would find hard to believe, okay. Otherwise I prefer actually sitting down with the child and book and reading a much more rewarding experience for all concerned. As far as video is concerned I can understand that better as you are actually seeing something.
