Destination Reached

Okay, I will admit to having had a fun learning experience and I want to continue learning about technology. I was a little frustrated at times during the learning process because I only have dial-up internet access at home. This meant that I could not view or listen to certain items unless I was at the library.

I have a Flickr account and will read my digital camera manual this long holiday weekend. In fact, if I read it tonight I can catch my family at the dinner table tomorrow and get some photos!

Podcasts

This lesson was so much fun. I can't get fast speed internet in my rural neighborhood which is in a way is a good thing otherwise I might become addicted to U-Tube.

I downloaded a video from our collection and subscribed to more than one podcast.

Wiki

As a student, I have had to participate in several group writing projects. A Wiki site would have made those writing assignments a breeze. It is so much nicer than e-mailing information back and forth.

Zoho Writer Experiment

Testing, Testing, One, Two, Three! This is an attempt to send a message to my blog from Zoho Writer.

Del.ici.ous

I took notes while touring Del.ici.ous and found lots of interesting web pages that people have bookmarked. I was very pleased to discover links leading to free algebra and Spanish tutorial programs.



The article "To a Temporary Place in Time" made me laugh out loud when the author predicted that one day people may collect good librarians like they collect good books! I could visualize librarians handing out autographed trading cards to their fans.

Social Networking

Last night I visited the My Space website and checked out the country singer Eric Dodge's space. I attended a baby shower on a My Space blog and also visited Tom's space. He is 32 years old and his zodiac sign is Libra.

Then I played three games of billards against a computer. I am sorry to say that I was beaten at eight ball all three times. I did manage to get 5 of the eight balls in the pocket during one game.

Generator Blog

The Generator Blog site was so much fun. It was like a day at a county fair. I had my name spelled out in Chinese characters, took a brain scan, made snowflakes and built a smiley person. I didn't really want to leave the site and go to the next project.

I found the Library Thing site very interesting. I did not realize so many people were serious about cataloging their private book collections.

As part of our assignment, I signed up for a Rollyo Search Engine and have started making my own personal search list.
