Reflections

The 20 for 20 learning exercises were very good for learning about tools and activities available on the web to which we might otherwise not be exposed. My favorites are still the My Space and Flickr sites. I would welcome future opportunities to enter similar discovery programs, but I do agree with other bloggers that it would be nice to have more time available to spend on it.

Avatars

Avatars can be a lot of fun for a person that has time to use them and enjoy second life. I don't live in second life because my time is very limited between needs at work and home.

Online Applications and Tools

Online applications and tools are going to be so useful to many, many people. We are not always at home where we can sit down at our computers and use the programs we need, and there are people who do not own a computer. By using websites such as google documents or Zoho, the opportunity is there. I liked the e-mail feature in Zoho.

Podcasting

I believe podcasting could be a very useful tool for the library. It could be used as an educational or informative medium. I subscribed to and listened to some business and legislative podcasts. The podcasts bring the news to the listener and make it easily accessible in our busy world. I also checked out the google Reader and think I will use it at home.

Image Generators

The online image generators are going to offer hours of fun for those with time on their hands, and even will be a great tool for those who have just a few minutes to personalize something. What fun!

OverDrive Downloads

The OverDrive Downloadable media is wonderful for those with faster internet service. It brings a wealth of materials that are both convenient and enjoyable. For those of us with dial up internet service at home, the downloads are still much too slow to download in the convenience of our home.

Del.icio.us

Delicious is a nice website. I am going to enjoy it since it will make it possible to get my favorites from a variety of computers, including those I may use at other libraries. I can see why it can be useful for sharing favorite sites with others, too.
