no.23 Summarize

I can't believe its over. I have finally come to the end of my Learning 2.0 experience. I can honestly say its been a fun ride. I have learnt about alot of new and exciting tools that I can use via the Internet. Podcasts, Bloglines, Flickr, Del.icio.us and numerous others.

At the library I work at those of us undertaking Learning 2.0 training have banded together to help one another. Because of that it has made my experience so much more enjoyable.

I'm not sure if I will use alot of what I have learnt at work, but I'm sure i will use it at home. In particular the online word processing package. I think that will come in quite handy.

Anyway..I'd better sign off for the last time. Its been fun!

no. 22 Downloadable Audio Books

This week I had a look at downloadable audio books. I had a look at the list of titles available and there wasn't really anything that particularly interested me. I had a listen to a classic Hans Christian Andersen book "The Emperor's New Clothes" and it wasn't that bad. The lady reading had a very nice voice and it was quite soothing and relaxing. Just a shame they didn't have anything more modern and maybe some fantasy.

no. 21 Podcasts

Well todayI had a look at podcasts. Well actually I've been listening to podcasts ever since I started doing Learning 2.0, and without headphones either. In order to not disturb my collegues I've had to turn the sound right down and stick my head right up to the computer. Looks kind of daggy really. Anyway..I had a look around yahoo for podcasts and nothing really seemed to grab me until I found the one on cars. Yes...I love cars. So I've added to my bloglines account Autoblog. This gives you all the news on the latest cars that have been released. Might be boring for some..but not for me.

no. 20 YouTube

Well today I had a look at YouTube. I've atually used it quite a bit at home so it wasn't really anything new. Because of the software used at my library this site is blocked, so i have had to do some of this at home. As I mentioned above because of the security software that the council uses YouTube couldn't really be used in the library. But its is fun to use at home. I've looked at various videos on funny commercials, behind the scenes of my favourite tv shows and videos that people have shot themselves. Oh yeah and I've checked out film clips for various songs...gotta love the 80's! Its also really cool how people can also link youtube clips to their websites.

no. 19 Web 2.0 Awards

This week I had a look at some of the winners and finalists of the web 2.0 wards. A couple took my interest.
First one was a cocktail builder website. You just type in a list of alchohol and or mixers you might have lying around home and it tells you which cocktails you could make with them. http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/Another fun one was tell a story in one sentence. I had a bit of a chuckle reading some of them. http://www.onesentence.org/One that I use myself regularly is facebook. I use this to communicate with friends, share pictures and just to meet people.http://www.facebook.com/ Some of the applications that I discovered on learning 2.0 were also there such as Zoho, Flickr, Rollyo and del.icio.us.

I can't believe I'm up to activity 19. Its sad to think my journey will almost be over. I can tell you it has been a pretty fun experience.

no.18 Web Based Apps

Well today i had a look at web based applications, in particular Zoho Writer. This is very much like Microsoft Office, having word processing, spreadsheets and publisher like program. I had a bit of a play with the word processor, its just like microsoft word..maybe better. I was even able to email my documents to my hotmail account.
Wil I use it myself you ask. Yes I think I may. Because it's web based I can access it from any computer that has the internet. This gets my big thumbs up!

no.17 Pb Wiki

I've actually got this week off, but in order to not get left behind I decided to do some learning 2.0. This was actually pretty easy to do. I went in and added a few things to the favourites, such as books tv shows etc.... Then I added my blog to the page with no troubles.

I noticed what my collegue said about the Glen Eira Library Service title, so i tarted it up a bit.
