Project Gutenberg

I used Project Gutenberg. After perusing it, I think it is helpful to know what books are past copyright or not under copyright for possible use in other programs, book clubs or book talks. I'm not sure from there what else I would do with this project. I looked at other group project ideas but am not sure where I would go from here.

#21- Useful search tools for locating Podcasts

Today I experimented with the Pod cast Net. etc. I found that they would not work for various reasons on the computer. A colleague said they failed to work when he/she attempted. I went to merlin... and had success. I found the LibVibe News to be helpful and interesting. I need help putting LibVibeNews into my blog. I copied imformation about creating my own podcast and look forward to trying this as well. I went into yahoopod and found thisRSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheLibraryCh... on the library channel. Interesting. Also I was pleased to be able to add this to the blog.

You tube

I went back to Youtube today and discovered under the category libraries some interesting videos. Since My husband loves the A- Team,I especially liked the L-Team. It gave me ideas of how to use this to promote libraries and their services to Youtube users and to add it to our website to explain or demonstrate how to use- the dewey decimal system or any of our databases. A podcast or video could be added. Once I figured out the problem with my not verifying my google account I found this one of the most useful and fun sights.

The reason I chose the donut video from the muppets is that It was national cream doughnut day. I was also just trying to get youtube to work.

Muppet Show - Swedish Chef - making donut

Happy Cream Donut day! I was in Youtube and found this video about donuts from the muppets. I had trouble using YouTube because i had not verified my google Account. Here goes !

Web 2.0

Today I experimented or explored Web 2.0. I tried one sentence .org and read one sentence stories. It was an interesting interpretation of what that means. I looked at games. I experimented with travel. The first sight kept telling me to check my departure date which of course I did but received no travel information or prices. I then checked realtravel where people can blog about their trip. I put in Japan and read the blog. Since the person was on a work related trip there was not much on sights to see. It was interesting but I'm not sure how useful. Maybe someone explored web 2.0 and found a sight they found interesting or helpful, if so let me know. Thanks

Zoho experimenting

Here I am back again to try zoho. I had tried this a few minutes earlier and was going to add it to my blog when it disappeared. I will try again to insert a table
1 gallon
4quarts
1 quart
2 pints
1 pint
2 cups







Now that I've added color to the background I'll explore some otherchanges before trying to put this in my blog. It works very similarly to Microsoft word.

I saved zoho as a word document. Then I copied it into my blogger post. The table disappeared and so did the color.

Wikis/ learning 2.0 sandbox

After exploring wikis, I found that I enjoyed the one where the subjects were set up, books were listed and pictured - etc. My only question is where is the time found to do such a wiki. it would be great to promote and easy to send customers to use but the time involved to keep it updated and helpful would be a major job.

I also wrote a favorite on the sandbox wiki. I did not succeed in placing it in the list- but it is on the sight somewhere. It is a fun sight to visit and read.
