#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning....

Wow I have actually finished what I started a little bit late but I really finished it.

Learning 2.0 has shown me a lot of different types of things that can be done on the internet that I didn't think I would ever be able to do. I will be going back to some of these sites and have a go at doing more.

Some of my posts have been short and not as interesting as some of my workmates but I am pleased that I made the effort and I know that this knowledge will help me at work and at play.
#22 Audiobooks (or "The end is in sight")

I have not listen to an audio book but I know a lot of patrons do including my parents. The amount of titles on the World Ebook Fair site is impressive and I think that there is definitely ways to use these in the library. We are already lending IPod audio books but by using this site or others similar the library could increase the amount of loans in this area without the expence or maintenence of audio books.
#21 Podcasts Smodcasts

After looking around the podcast sites I finally decided to add Classic Mysteries at Podcast Alley to my Bloglines. These sites could be fun and I think that the library could use them in training and promoting the library.

#18 Web based Apps: They're not just for desktops

I am not sure what to write so I am just going to try and type this and then send it to my blog killing two birds with one stone. winkAs you can see I have tried some of the tools that are available.

smileYa it worked.

It worked but I had to wait till I got to work to confirm my login so this is out of order.

#20 You too can You Tube



I am trying to rush through the last couple of steps and so I picked a short video to save and I think babies in the bath are fun to watch. I don't know how this will help Libraries at the moment but I will think about it later.
#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I chose to look around Google maps because I have been there before and I am running out of time. This site is interesting because you can see what it is like in other areas of the world. My husband loves this site to look at his favorite fishing holes or just browsing different areas. My only complaint is there is no date for when these maps where updated (some are a couple of years old) This site could be useful as a reference tool. I will be coming back to explore some of the other sites when I have finished this journey.
#17 Play around with PBWiki

Well I added my blog to the list and I had a quick look at the othe favorite pages.
