TA-DA!!

Week ten actually came up fast. I've kept a folder of the places I've been and places I want to go. So many possibilities. The social networking tools look scary to me as far as compromising my privacy. So many chances available to take advantage of mis-using a persons photos or mis-quoting what he/she writes. Blogs make more sense to me, more control. I also fear that future socializing could become nothing more than single persons sitting in a dark room all day, chatting on line, letting go of human interaction.

Lots of discoveries for me. I enjoyed the early exercises more so than the pods, youtubes and facebooks. The programs format worked for me. Picking the summer term was good also, as our workload is less. I would not want to start another series anytime soon. What I want to do now is go back and work with those applications I discovered. I will explore, apply, and tweek them to my needs.

Thanks for the opportunity to do this on Alden time.

Week nine challenges

My children would have loved YouTube when they were growing up. What an opportunity for imagination, creativity, hands on experience for everyone. Uses for libraries would only be limited by energy and time. How much of each do you want to spend?



I became bored looking at various videos. I found a group of videos featuring amatuers making commercials for Listerine tabs. I know of this product, saw a video made by connie, and that's why I chose to use it for assignment number 20.

I found a podcast tutorial at the wise-women website which said "podcasting is like TiVo for radio. Made the whole directory thing doable. I looked at several, but didn't find anything to my interest or more so to my life style. I just don't sit much. Now as I write this I see that is what the point is to podcasting....recording it to an ipod and go mobile. Tala for exercise 21.
