Item 12 - Exhibit B

This is my trading card using Trading Card Maker
another fun site to play with.

Item 12 - Exhibit A

This picture is using the Add letters Street Sign
Generator. A great site. I have enjoyed using the image generators. I even put a ticker counter on my blog for a countdown when my daughter comes home from her church mission. Check out Item 12-Exhibit B

Item 10

I read about social networks. I found it would be a great way to look for lost friends. It would be great for the library to have a site and post upcoming events and highlight authors and books. Also a great place for patrons to leave their comments.

Item 9

I have set up a meebo accountand it is now on my blog sidebar.

Instant messaging is great if you are just sitting at your computer
with your blog or meebo account on, but it is not for me. I still like a phone call.

IM Reference would be great, especially if it could be open 24 hours. Patrons could get there answers right when they need them. But instant messaging for library reference will only work if you have someone answering the call.

Item 8

I have been working on adding sites to my bloglines. Searching was easier by just going to my favorite web sites and see if they have a blog. It makes no sense to fill up with bloglines I'm not all that interested in. I found enough with just my favorites. I have plenty to read now. I had the best luck adding blogs with firefox using the icon.

I can see libraries using it to keep patrons up to date with events, new books coming out, and even having a book discussion with it. I would use it to keep up with the news, weather, and shopping discounts.

Item 7

Well I created a blogline and learned about RSS. At first I didn't understand at all, but I worked at it and now I understand a little. I have some great sites on by blogline, and I am excited to view them. Of course I have amazon. Checked out a good book from the library "About.com guide to online research" it's helped alot.

Item 6

I explored the different flickr mashups. My favorite was flickr Sudoku.

Item 5

Item 4

Listened to 7 1/2 lifelong learning habits. I think the easiest habit would be confidence in myself.Hardest would be using technology to your advantage, because I'm not very familiar with new technology. I do have confidence that I can learn.
