Week 10,#23: Thank God This is the End!

I can't believe I made it through these 40 hours of 10 hour training credit. Ha Ha! A lot has happened along the way, but I am glad to have made it to the finish line - Finally! Okay, here goes: What have I learned and liked and disliked? I've learned that I'm not as technologically advanced as I had initially believed when I began this training odyssey.

What I liked most and found somewhat useful were: LibraryThings {which I've actually been using to track my book-reading progress} and Zoho Writer {which would save me on a lot of jump drive expenses}. I suppose I also enjoyed Flicker as well.

What I didn't like and found a bit irritating was Library Elf. I am already tired of getting all the e-mail notifications. I receive more from the Elf than I do from HCPL.

Over all it has been an interesting learning experience. ---The End---

Week 9,#22:Downloadable Media

I preferred the library's downloadable media OverDrive than the others I visited, like LibriVox. I managed to reserve an audiobook entitled 10 Secrets For Success and Inner Peace by Wayne dyer. I may make use of OverDrive using my MP3 Player.

Week 9,#21: Podcasts

Podcasts are a waste of time and space. I wasn't impressed with any of the sites (Podcast.net or Podcastalley.com). I did find some library podcasts like Library Geek and others, but thought of them as nothing more than a good nap while listening to them.

Week 9,#20: YouTube

The YouTube video I chose was a re-edited clip of That's My Purse from King of the Hill, which is one of my favorite tv shows. I wasn't that impressed with the other videos on YouTube. I'm not really a YouTube fan. I'm not really sure I would support the use of a site like YouTube for library purposes. That's just my opinion...

Week 8,#19: Zoho Writer Comments

WHAT I THINK OF ZOHO WRITER

                                                    

    I am very impressed with Zoho Writer. It is very useful for a student like myself. I use USB drives to save my documents because I go from school computers to my home computer to my laptop quite frequently. I think Zoho Writer is a lovely idea and will come in handy for me.

Week 8,#18: Social Networking

I am not really a social networker. I do have a Yahoo!360 page though, which I stumbled upon accidentally. I really use it to just post my thoughts and ideas about certain things, but not much more. MySpace has never really interested me since I've heard about different scamming and stalking situations that go on there. But if anyone would like to visit my Yahoo!360 page, be my guest and drop me a line anytime. I am verjentho on Yahoo!360.

Week 7,#17: Blog About Technology

So far I have enjoyed the LibraryThings website. I have started adding more of the books I've read to my book list. It has actually given me even more initiative to read, read, read all I can before the year ends. I'm actually curious to see how many more books I will add to my library by the end of 2008.
