e-book download

Sunday Night late, I was successful in downloading an e-book. I have wanted to see how this worked but just not taken the time. The first attempt put the bookby agatha christie on my card but I was unable to read it and have been unable to read it. The second attempt was successful! Another Yea! It is on my home computer and I started reading it last evening. I did not find it easy to use. I am not sure where to put the book since many people share the computer at my home. Once Adobe digital was downloaded, does it stay on my computer ? This is my next discovery. Reading a book on the computer screen is not enjoyable for me. Over time I guess this could change.

RSS Feed- YEA!-- Y oung Adult Books -graphic

I just added the blogs of my team to blogger line as a RSS feed. I didn't find lisa's yet but the rest are there. Just like my colleague technical things tend to malfunction so any success is a YEA!

Also, after reading Pat's blog about young adult books , I thought it might be interesting to note that Great Books is coming in April. For this day od book discussions, I chose 2 Young adult groups and 1 Juvenile group of books to critique. In the Y category, I read the graphic novel LATIK, It was great! It was sad if you like dogs but very well written. I am just starting to enjoy graphic novels. I am not a reader of the Japanese Manga but there are other graphic novels that are great! I really enjoyed and so did many of my colleagues THE ARRIVAL. Let me know what you think of them.

LATI - week4 - Evaluating a Resource

I've begun working on the 35 subject resource forms. The world almanac 2008 in itself was a great resource to peruse in be reminded of the wealth of information contain in it. I realized several questions from students could have been aided by using the 2008 World Almanac. Another subject resource I evaluated was First Facts in America. Again, I saw the potential for school assignments as a fact resource. Although time is a premium, I'm finding doing this and working gives me a great evaluation opportunity.

LATI week 3 - Excellent cutomer Service

I was able to get into the course from my home computer and listen to some excellent tips and reminders for customer service. I' m working on the listening careful to what the customer is really saying not assuming I know. It made me realize how much I do this. I was able to listen to the state libraries tutorials . Again some very practical advice.

LATI week 2 - setting up the blog and using MD 23 things

I had set my blog up when I did 23 things this past summer. I reviewed T-1, T-2, and T-8. I did not see this assignment right away for whatever reason. I believe the review of 23 things will be good. It will have reinforce them in my mind.
