Wings Of Freedom Tour

For a Father Day gift we got my husband a flight on the Wings Of Freedom Tour. He took a flight on a B-17 flying fortress plane. He had so much fun flying on the plane. I enjoy watching a modern plane coming down on the runway next to the B-17 going up on the next runway with it guns showing. I wonder what the pliot thought.It was a great day for my husband. That all he could talk about the whole weekend. Go to the web address. www.cfdn.org

Just sent a blog to Ling. Hope she will answer me back. Valerie help me to use the comments on Ling"blog. I signed up for compute classes. Learning the 27 things make me wants to learn more.

#27 more learning Web 2.0

I want to continue to learn but I don't know enough about the Web. There is so much out there. Every day more and more is added.

To gain knowledge or skill: to come to know how

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do. - Goethe

Lesson #26 What I think

I had so much fun doing K.C.L.S. Learning 2.0-27 Things. This was such a blast. Working 30 hours at the Library, keeping the Books for my husband's business and watching my 2 grandsons one day a week while my daughter-in-law is back in school, I didn't have the time to take the compute class I wanted to this year. Participating in Learning 2.0 was the next best thing.

My favorite exercises: Blogging
Blogliner
Google Doc
LibraryThing
What I like about these 4 exercises I can really use them in my day-to-day life.

What surprise me? How hard some of the web sites were to get into. How each web sites has its own language, different words for the same functions. How some of the staff member were able to do the exercise in different way but end at the same ending.

I was so glad for fellow staff members' help. Valerie as the main helper. We had a great time talking about each week's lesson, what lesson we were at and what we did to completed the lessons.

I wanted to go hear the speakers. It would be nice to have different places to go and have a satellite conference hookup or a vt of the speakers to take home to watch.

I think we need to continue this program. It is hard to keep up with the moving technologies. Library-relevant technologies is moving so fast without help, most of us can't keep up. having someone to pass on the information will help us with our patrons. Just to know the languages, helps us to keep on the same step with them or maybe one or two steps ahead.

I am so glad I participated. I am keeping my notes and I will keep most of my websites active. Working for the K.C.L.S. for about 20 years I have to say this was the most fun.

Thank You.

Podcast

I love Old Radio Shows. I found alot using this title and found something on BBC Doctor Who. I now need a compute at home to listen to this sities.

YouTube

I enjoy looking at this websites. I found something from the Norwesscon 30 Sci Fic Convention that I went to this year. But I had a hard time sign up for this. I had to have help from Valarie. We had to use BloggerBeta.

#22 Choose Your Own Adventure

This was fun. I enjoy looking at some of the websities out there. Like The Ontarlo Beer Hunter. Two other webpages: Activeallowance or Google Earth were good. I picked webware. It was easy to get in and it had a link that I could add to my Yahoo web page.

Google's labs

I had alot of fun looking at this page. The 3 web sities that readly caught my eye were Google Mars, Google suggest in Japanese & Google Reader. I went to a panel at a Sci Fic Convention about Mar. It is great to get caught up with what is going on now with Mars. I am starting to get hook on Japanese books, movies, ect. So I going enjoy going to this webpage. I did't look to hard at Google Reader but I going to have fun getting into that page.

Google Docs

This is the one I will use alot. It will go great with doing the paperworks for my husband's business . This will help at the end of year & I am getting the paperworks ready for taxes. It will look more professional.

Library 2.0

I read all the articles. They all made good points. Our way of doing collections will have to change. User needs will have alot to do with the tools we will use. But we will alway have people who love books. I myself have a hard time reading anything on the computer for a long time. I don't want a blackberry or a cell phone. Times do change and I will change with the time maybe two or three steps behind. Onto the new world of librarianship

Rollyo or Google Custom Search Engine

I found this lesson #18 to be very hard. I like the look of Rollyo & did not like Google. But Rollyo was very hard to get set up. Talking to my fellow staff member, they all like Google better. It was very easy to set up. I will kept Rollyo now that I have it set up. I am still learning to add to the site

FD TOYS

wiki page

I am learning some great web sit. I like the book lovers wiki. Sometime reading other people's reveiws of book help to found a new author or a same type of books.
I have used the SJCPL Subject Guides wiki before. I liked Entertainment & Government. It help alot.

Librarything

This was fun & I will use this one. I liked the groups of people & the different book listing. I link the Librarything on my list of great places to visit for good books.

del.icio.us

I think I would use this one. I try to set up a account and had a lot of problems. I don't know what I did but this one I need help.

Social Networking Sites

The question is: What do you think about Libraries taking part in social networking sites?
I think we need to be in on all the ways to get people in our libraries. There is so much going on in world. Libraries do not want to be left on the wayside. Reading is so much fun.

It is getting easy to do the KCLS learning 2.0-27 Things but finding the Rss orXML on a website, that was hard. I am glad I had a different e-mail address & I don't have remember a new password. On to the next learning. Jo
