I am not a fan of the podcasting. The one that I wanted to choose would not let me so the one I ended up choosing did not interest me. Hopefully, I can find the time to go back and really look through and find something that appeals to me. I would much rather read the info than to listen to it though. On the flip side, while reading some of the sites of podcasting I at least now know some of the lingo!

I LOVE this little girl - she has such attitude!!
okay, i'm a little out of order here - but for week 7 I felt that this info was way above my head. I am going to go back at some point and go through it again. This was info that was all new to me but I would like to explore it further!
My niece had set me up on Facebook a while back but I had not actually logged on until this exercise. It was lots of fun to look up different people and communicate with them. Since I am new to life in the Library I feel that I am the least qualified to say how I think this site would be benefical to the library but as I use the site and learn more about it I am sure that it will become clear to me!

I FINALLY got a chance to look at Google Docs. I am going to try (at some point) to create a spreadsheet to use with my shelving results. I think this is a great site and the options that it offers are awesome!

I have browsed the Flickr site before - a guy I know used to post his pics on there. I only got to delve into it a little bit. I don't think I would use this site but I do like clicking on tags and seeing all of the cool pictures. One of the series on Flickr is pictures of EMPTY chairs - this annoys me to no end! HA

I tried LibraryThing and for me it is VERY simple. I'm not used to wandering around these type of sites so the simpler the BETTER for me. I look forward to spending more time learning this site -would love to get ideas for new books to read from others. On a postive note I saw an article and it talked about "aggregators" and I actually knew what they meant! Just knowing what a wiki is is a huge event for me! When I get a chance I am going to try Shelfari as well.

THE HARDEST LEARNING HABIT FOR ME WOULD BE TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO MY ADVANTAGE. I'VE NOT EVER REALLY BEEN THAT INTO THE NEW GADGETS THAT ARE ALWAYS COMING OUT.

THE EASIEST LEARNING HABIT FOR ME IS TO BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND. WHEN I BEGIN SOMETHING I'M USUALLY THINKING ABOUT THE END RESULT. I LIKE TO MAP OUT AND PLAN HOW TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL.
I FEEL LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER BUT I'LL GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT
