One of my favorite discoveries was creating my own avatar on the MEEZ. Of course, play week was the best. I also thought the idea of downloading ebooks on a variety devices was interesting because I do listen to talking books from time to time, but only in my car. This program gave me more of an opportunity to have more experience with further technology learning that I have not had the chance to explore. I did not realize how easy blogging could be. . But one thing that I did not expect to do was to register at every site in order to get through the program, but I guess, for some of them, that would be the only way to have a hands on experience. I probably would still participate in another program like this because it was a learning process for me. Thanks for the experience, I feel a more up to date with some uses of technology, that is, educational and a little playtime.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.unshelved.com/blog.aspx?post=838</div>reeseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04978279264423661892noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917324871066661171.post-80817891409776661602007-07-10T11:31:00.000-07:002007-07-19T10:41:45.646-07:00Week #9 Discover You Tube and a few sites that allow you upload video<a href="http://www.youtube.com/">You Tube</a> has many varieties of entertainments, I agree, some interesting and some not so interesting. I thought the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/categories_portal?c=19&e=1">Travel & Places </a>category was kind of interesting because you can get to see different places around the world as real as you can see it. Polynesian Islands look sweet. It would be nice to sip on a margarita on one of those hotel balconies about now. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7Z19ujBkKLo"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7Z19ujBkKLo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br />I thought the <a href="http://podcastalley.com/">Podcast Alley</a> was interesting because you find useful information on just about anything from recreation to educational subjects. <br /><a href="http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs">bloglines</a><br />As far as learning about downloadable audio books, I did find some sites were kind of more limited than others when it came to finding certain titles or authors. I did feel comfortable locating some subjects and authors on the <a href="http://maryland.lib.overdrive.com/51F3CE29-4C15-4ADC-BE91-415337B3830A/10/252/en/default.htm">Mayland's Digital eLibrary Consortium</a>. I ended up with more ebooks in my bookbag than I noticed. These ebook sites should be very nice for people who can't always make it to the library as often as others. There is just about every subject available that you can imagine.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.unshelved.com/blog.aspx?post=838</div>reeseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04978279264423661892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917324871066661171.post-25166618365872867262007-07-09T13:03:00.000-07:002007-07-10T09:46:10.827-07:00Week #8 Take a look at some productivity tools<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYiu4eF25N-cN3s_KbW_kW0TgWAvPy7cpsYlZqGEgGPVW9fXC26XaBnNCFXOFMGhrAZwGxJNMD2hw6lILTZW8hKDJ-wKTMwCgOAWxOO-FOWuG4pJ_5pV11Jp2ScHNhoh09NCaCNBZjZ7Ts/s1600-h/134507681_806ce1a523_m.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYiu4eF25N-cN3s_KbW_kW0TgWAvPy7cpsYlZqGEgGPVW9fXC26XaBnNCFXOFMGhrAZwGxJNMD2hw6lILTZW8hKDJ-wKTMwCgOAWxOO-FOWuG4pJ_5pV11Jp2ScHNhoh09NCaCNBZjZ7Ts/s200/134507681_806ce1a523_m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085294248889791218" /></a><br />Well, I created my accounts for both websites, ZohoWriter and <a href="http://docs.google.com/?hl=en_US">GoogleDocs</a>, and tried some features. I liked using the <a href="https://accounts.zoho.com/IAMMain.cc">ZohoWriter</a> better than the GoogleDoc, but to each his own. If you are really into using Microsoft Office tools, I think it's another unique way to communicate thoughts amongst each other and actually go back and see who edited what and when it was done. The <a href="http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0/">Web 2.0 Awards</a> site is, to me, a fun way to find some interesting sites.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.unshelved.com/blog.aspx?post=838</div>reeseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04978279264423661892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917324871066661171.post-31972948683712548302007-07-06T13:35:00.000-07:002007-07-09T10:49:33.584-07:00Week #7 Wikis<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0YQbYGahzAz01CI_vHpHjOnq6Iuw24lNE0mfAMn9ayHo6ScqYf7gDVRfPKtHb13g2_Y_0J8468mu6Zwe3KwL3LMgMj6q603v1_YYuD0TQDhtpN9dANxhvB8MjTNdIsIo0O_ahkck9IgsI/s1600-h/88559148_6eaa98e17e_m.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0YQbYGahzAz01CI_vHpHjOnq6Iuw24lNE0mfAMn9ayHo6ScqYf7gDVRfPKtHb13g2_Y_0J8468mu6Zwe3KwL3LMgMj6q603v1_YYuD0TQDhtpN9dANxhvB8MjTNdIsIo0O_ahkck9IgsI/s200/88559148_6eaa98e17e_m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084187641976042130" /></a><br />I thought <a href="http://bullrunlibrary.pbwiki.com/">Wikis</a> was just about editing resources, but I did discover some unique things like getting directions though links of different places and also linking to different sites like medicines and mathmetic resources. <a href="http://marylandlibrariessandbox.pbwiki.com">Maryland Libraries Sandbox</a> and <a href="http://pbwikis.com">pbwikis</a> seems to be a unique tool to use to communicate when using projects for students and agendas for companies.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.unshelved.com/blog.aspx?post=838</div>reeseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04978279264423661892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917324871066661171.post-19774982489644572342007-07-06T11:27:00.000-07:002007-07-06T12:54:36.231-07:00Week #6 Tagging, Folksonomies, & Technorati<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTVtdktRkAJF1t6YmfdV-PjojPiK_KHxR3n0bGuSz-MgyaV2LkVvNYAHNYeZ6k0zAxTjl0qIGfyWZQBSn-Kk224beAk3c7e9yeM5WOzljaUwO9o1LhGrN3uYhEVpTZojLwzcBhjWdV8RCz/s1600-h/582405088_e1b6c64db4.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTVtdktRkAJF1t6YmfdV-PjojPiK_KHxR3n0bGuSz-MgyaV2LkVvNYAHNYeZ6k0zAxTjl0qIGfyWZQBSn-Kk224beAk3c7e9yeM5WOzljaUwO9o1LhGrN3uYhEVpTZojLwzcBhjWdV8RCz/s200/582405088_e1b6c64db4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084164500692251266" /></a><br />As far as <a href="http://del.icio.us.com">Del.icio.us</a>, it seems to be a neat tool to use if a person would need it for researching because you are able to find tags that you might have not thought of that other users have. I like the <a href="http://technorati.com">Technorati</a> page where it has a listings of all of the popular searches, blogs, videos, etc. It's another way of keeping up with what most people are interested in. <a href="http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/002/3.htm">Libraries 2.0</a> is another way individuals can see what tools libraries are able to use and what could be expected in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.unshelved.com/blog.aspx?post=838</div>reeseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04978279264423661892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917324871066661171.post-67507064265924490292007-07-05T12:34:00.000-07:002007-07-06T09:53:17.405-07:00Week #5 Play Week<<a title="Check out this user's profile at Meez.com" href="http://www.meez.com/reeses0712"><img alt="" src="http://images.meez.com/user13/04/03/02/040302_10015935770.gif" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://meez.com/">MEEZ</a> is a very good site to find interesting avatars. You can be very creative.<br />I also enjoyed creating my own library catalogue on <a href="http://www.librarything.com/catalog/reeses0712">LibraryThing</a>. I can see it being a great way of keeping track of books that's been read and maybe even get related or similiar types of books to read from other people in the talk room.

To me, it's more understandable that way. Habit 2 "Accepting Responsibility for your own learning" would be a little more difficult for me. I have tried a couple of times before trying to use a "How to" publication and I did not have the patience to take the time to and read step by step.
