Week 11 - Online Productivity

Well, this was a tough one. Thank goodness for Becky's help. I have a gmail account so I tried to get a document Gay Lynn wanted to share. Not knowing that she was using my henrico address, I tried to access it with my gmail address. Can't be done. I now have two accounts.

Anyway, I think that google doc will be a good resource for me. Possibly, I will put our monthly brochure on and share it with the children's staff. This way, there will be no lost paper, and everyone can put in their imput. How clever.

I also liked that Gay Lynn was able to share her power point. This will be a great way for us to share songs and rhymes -- sometime in the future.

Week 10 tags/social networking

I am happy to say that again I am familiar with tags and social networking. I have used tags to find pictures. I read about delicious and Matt's information that he has posted. I have also looked up information on delicious. I will probably continue to use these resources.

Week 9 - Social Networking

So, now I am hooked on facebook. I haven't written anything on anyone's wall, but I find it interested to read what's on my friends wall. That has gotten me in some trouble though. It is not a good idea to read your children's walls. Too much information. I only have one smart child who did not friend me. What could he be hiding? hum

I reviewed shelfari. That is a site that I think I would probably be able to use. I don't really think that I want my own shelf, but a lot of times I am looking for a good book, and this site might help me.

Week 8 gaming

This week I had the opportunity to learn about gaming. I knew how to play solitaire, and now that I know that other games are free, this is not a good thing. I will take control of the situation, and not allow myself to spend too much of my free time on line playing games. I do have a life away from the computer.

Week 7 - wiki's

Well, after reading about wiki's, I think this is something that I probably can use in the library. I don't know if I will ever create my own, but I certainly feel that I can use it to find information.
