e- Books (OverDrive)


Being able to download the software required to use the audio book from the library's website is a helpful feature.


Locating Podcasts

I was amazed at the content that is available to view through this media source.

Discover You Tube

I have been a fan of auto racing for as long as I can remember. I love the sport.
The jet fuel cars are one of my favorites. I have much admiration for female
drivers. Some have trained from many years and leaving their mark in the
male dominated sport.


On-Line Productivity Tools and Web 2.0 Awards List

I explored Zoho Writer and Craigs List at http://fortlauderdale.craigslist.org/zip/

I created two test documents. I particularly liked the readily accessible tool bars.

I viewed Craigs List which I had heard about from the Web 2.0 Award list.
I like how the site is designed.

PBWiki Sandbox & bcltlc wiki Exercise

This activity reminded of playing in the sandbox as a child
at the playground. Even though I was very shy. It was my
favorite activity because you could play alone a no one really
paid most attention and you could observe the other children
at play. This made it easier to choose playmates with similiar
interests. Adding my blog to the favorites list was
just that simple and you readily view the interests of the other
participants.

Wiki's

Wiki's if used appropriately are in my opinion a valuable
resource. The data is generally presented in an easy to
interpret format. The ones developed for specific events
(Past ALA Conferences) are very informative. Reading about
the direction of library services in future was interesting.

Wikipedia, has been a life saver for myself with my college and
for the high school age son.
