This was a very rewarding learning esperience to me. I had no idea there was so much to be had at my fingertips. Some of the directions were very confusing to me, and I had to have help to manipulate through all of the different sites.
I really enjoyed Youtube, and the" Dumb Blonde at the library " video.
The introduction of so many new and different programs - flicker - Wikis - blogging - tagging etc. has exposed me to what is now available. I may never use what I have learned, but it was wonderful to be exposed to it. Yes, I would take this again, providing that I have the same patient person (Jennifer) answering all of my questions.

Thing #20
YouTube allows you to share your movies with the world. I watch the Dumb Blonde in the library. Very very funny!
Thing #18
Is an online word processor where you can collaborate with other features. One is able to retrieve their work from any computer. Zoho is free.
Thing #17 - Playing in the sandbox
I played in the sand box and edited my own wiki. Very easy to do! I'm not sure I'll ever need this, but found it interestin.

Week 7 Thing 16
http://marylandlibrarieslearningacts.blogspot.com/2007/01/16-learn-about-wikis-and-discover-some.html
A wiki allows people to collaborate and develop web sites. Anyone can make changes, so information may not be completely accurate.
A wiki allows anyone the ability to take part in the creation and editing of web sites. Libraries can use wiki spaces for quick and easy collaborative work, and they can become a hub for community resources. Librarians may create wikis as subject guides. Adding wiki to our catalog would enable users to post synopses and reviews. This would help patrons make informed reading decisions.
