30

I think that 30 things at one time for something new is a lot. maybe it could be broken down into smaller pieces. Also, each thing took a lot longer to do than was suggested at the beginning. I had blocked web sites by the city, sites that did not work, and programs to update that required authorization by an administrator. There were things that I liked and something that I will never use. But, now I know that there are a lot of site that I did not know about before.
The program could use more time and shorter things to do for each section. The reading and research involved was intense for each Thing. There is not enought time to do a really in depth job for each thing.
Yes, I would participate in the future, if I had the time to do it.
Thank you,

My favorite discoveries were LibraryThing and Flickr. I will enjoy using Library Thing to organize the books that I have read. I also like Flickr. I like all of the pictures and videos. My son is into photography I am going to tell him about Flickr. I think he will enjoy this site.
When I the 30 things I will go back and look at them again. I don't think we had enought time to really get into each lesson. There was so much to read and review and understand for the time that we had. Thank you for setting this up.

I went to the Generator Blog. I used the brainscannr. I put my name in and a picture of my brain appears. I don't know what all of the yellow faces mean, but it looks good.

25 - library web site

On a library web site I found polcasts and videos. Library news where you can get library related news from other libraries. Podcasts where you can get library channel news about new books, study programs, authors, and other things. There was also a streaming vidoe library. Also, I took a tour of the library.

24 - podcasts

I found some pictures that I liked. I tried to find a video, but the computer needs a new version of Adobe Flash player. To down load this I would need administrative password, I do not have one. Also, other podcasts that I clicked on said "city's internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time." Podcasts look interesting if I could see any.

YouTube -23

I picked Funkphonic. It is very creative and entertaining. The music is good and the graphics are great.

22 -Flickr fun

I liked the Flickr Color Pickr. It lets you find photos that match any color that you want. You can pick a picture and then change it to any color that you want.

Tags -21

Tags are like keywords or labels that you ad to a photo to make it easier to find later. Tags allow you to share your photos in many different and very creative ways.

Flickr

I picked a picture of a cute kitten. She looks like she is looking for her mother.

The pictures were very nice. I enjoyed viewing them. I don't know how you can use them in a library.

Tecnorati and tags

I took the technorati tour and I really don't understand what's going on. It really confused me. If I have time I will come back and review this area, but I only have a week to finish the rest of this course.

Tagging and Folksonomy

Tagging is an open informal method of categorizing a that allows users to associate keywords online. del.ici.ous allows users to ttag their links. They can build a reading list, luild a syllabus and share their reading lists.

MySpace profile

I could not take the MySpace Tour it was not working. I skimmed over the discovery exercises. The discovery exercises told how to change or fix MySpace. How to use the abravations and where to go to do something. All of this is not relevant to me because I don't want to try it now.

Social networking

Yes, VBP should use a social networking site to connect with teens. They can make friends, express themselves, and connect with other teens with the same interests.

I had to ask someone how to edit and enter my information. The page was not very clear on how to add something.

Thing 10

Technorati was teh method of finding feeds that I found the easiest to use.
Syndic8.com was the most confusing to me.
Topix.net was the easiest search tool for me to use.
