Oh What Fun…Google All The Way…

I do use gmail and google maps but I had never used it to “shop”, very helpful. Now that I know it is there I am sure I will use it in the (near) future! I also liked the additional tips, using ~ to get more results similar to what had been requested is so cool!

Thanks for all of your hard work putting this together, I really appreciate all that I have learned.

IM im an instant messenger

I had no idea that the library offered this service in such an easy format. I have used live chat with different businesses (like my cell phone provider) and I like the convenience, but the Ask Away site is a much better format and so simple to find on the website!

It was helpful to be able to email the transcript of my conversation to myself so that I could use the information that the librarian offered on a repeated basis. I had asked about appropriate reading materials for 5th graders to read in their spare time. She made sure that our library had NoveList Plus and proceeded to tell me a little about it’s usage. Very helpful and a wonderful reference tool.

I am not a big fan of IM abbreviations-I feel like IM is impersonal enough as it is, but I do use happy faces and hearts <3, , .

Podcasts and me

Well, I listened to the podcast from Garrison Keillor. What a wonderful voice that man has, so soothing. It was interesting to learn about podcasting I really though it was just for Ipods. Thanks for the opportunity.

I do not think that I would use them too often, but you must keep in mind a rarely listen to books on tape. I am a much more visual person. I could see where they could be used as a good teaching tool as long as the student has some sort of media player!

Databases. That was soooo much fun!

I used the hertiagequest data base and found out many things that could possibly be true. Some may create quite a scandal in the family…I will have to contact the cousins! It was very easy to use and print from. I used Control+P to print, it seemed to work better for me because I could minimize the margins.

Adding a video

The videos were very easy to get to and to add. I did have to print out the Great8 instruction page to follow the instructions, for some reason I was not able to use the back button to get back to the wordpress page after I copied the video. I must say I laughed out loud and now get why people watch these things!

My experience with Flickr.com

Hi! It is very nice to have the opportunity to share pictures with a large amount of people. I did have a hard time setting up the API Endpoint but I think it is mostly because I did not get the idea that it had to go directly into a blog as opposed to just my account.Lots of fun!

Great site to keep good dogs in the green!

Have you ever looked at Dave’s Garden? No, he is not a neighbor dog, it is a website. Very informative for those who garden a little (not for the pros). It helps me with my “people” vocbulary! Not to mention providing me with lots of good stuff to graze on in the yard.

Good Day for Dogs!

This was one of the best days ever. When they were making dinner the plate of cheese fell on the floor. It was blissful! I also ran in the yard for about (what they said) an hour chasing a squirrel. He just did not take a hint. The herbs that I ate were also very tasty. I will post a good site to buy the plants. More tomorrow!
