Week Six - photo sharing

Once again I am really impressed that I already use photo sharing. It has been a great way for me to share pictures with my friends and family. I recently was able to see pictures from my granddaughter's soccer game on Kodak, and my other daughter who is studying in Europe has created a photo album on myphotoalbum.com. It is a wonderful source for seeing what she is doing. By her setting up a photo album, I don't have to go on her facebook to see pictures that I really don't want to look at.

I can see utilizing photo sharing for special programs, crafts, and storytime ideas. This would be a good way for staff from all the libraries to see what is being done, and how successful it is.

Week 5 Podcasting

Believe it or not, I know about podcasting. The first time I used it was when VT was having their memorial service. Since I was working I wasn't able to watch it, so I was able to listen to the Podcast. If I am not mistaken, I believe that during one of the children's meeting we listened to a podcast. It was hard to pay attention to it because there were so many people in the room, and the speaker wasn't working correctly.

I think it could be useful if I was interested in the subject they were podcasting about. I'm more visual then auditory.

twittering

Well, this week I learned about twitter. What was interesting was on the day that I listened to the info., I went home at lunch time and turned on Ellen. P. Diddy was on and explaining to Ellen about how to twitter. He said he loved it, and showed her how to do it. Her response was pretty similar to mine, "why would you write down everything you are doing for people to see?"

Anyway, I decided to be open to new things. I opened a facebook account. It is unbelievable how fast people find you. I became friends quickly with a lot of people, none of whom were my children. I believe that they totally ignored me. But then again, do I really want to know what they are doing?

Week 3 RSS

I can't believe that I have asked Bunny for help. It is like the blind leading the blind. She actually has a feed but she is acting like she doesn't know what to do. Do you believe that. Well, I guess I going to have to ask someone else for help because I just can't follow directions. I guess the first thing that I have to do is find a good feed. Wish me luck!

I owe Bunny an apology. We did connect correctly to CNN, and I actually connected to People. Whoo, hoo, we are good!
