Last day of work

Well this is my last day before heading off with my dear old Mum (82)to the United Kingdom and possibly France. We have a wedding in Bordeaux on 21st June so hopefully will arrive around 19th to 23rd. I am hopefully going to Ireland on 26th June for 4 days. We will leave Manchester on 1st July arriving in Melb 2nd July, back to work 7th.

Week 13 Step 23 Conslussion

I have had a fabulous time exploring every aspect of 23 Things and learnt so much along the way. My favourite tasks were igoogle, Library Thing, Google maps and Google book search. I guess i have now discovered Google! More interactive learning would be fun.

Week 12 Step 22 Second Life and libraries

I have listened to several podcasts on Second Life. At first i really couldn't see the relevance to libraries but now understand how this application could be an advantage to libraries and teaching. Personally i wouldn't become involved in a second life as i spend too much time in the virtual world outside in the fresh air not in front of a computer.

Week 11 Step 21 Podcasts

There are two types of Podcasts, one through RSS feeds which are audio and the other through Youtube which are visual as well. I have linked my favourite audio.

Matt and Jo

Week 10 Step 20 YouTube

You Tube is mind boggling. I have searched for videos referring to "Libraries"and this is my favourite.

The L-Team.

Week 10 Step 19 Wikis

This was a fun process, making the old brain work harder. I have added two photos to the pet's page, once again with Kat's help.

Week 9 Step 18 Library 2.0

Blah, blah, blah so much reading. One comment stood out for me...

"What we need to do is become comfortable in this reality of constant change. We cannot create our service and sit back and watch its success, for as soon as we do that we’ll see the next service (perhaps a disruptive service) come along and steal our customers (and our glory) – or perhaps we won’t see it until it’s too late."
