Session 6: Podcasts, Video & Downloadable Audio

I love Podcasts!! I hope to have students Podcast their favorite book at the end of the year.

I am looking forward to eBooks also. For me personally, I don't want to give up the feel of a good book in my hands but I can see when there are times when a Kindle is more practical. I will be asking Santa for a Kindle next Christmas.

I can't wait to try these Web 2.0 tools with my students. Plus it will be cool to show them that they do have access to technology in their library!

Session 5: Wikis and Online Production Tools

This morning we learned about Wiki's. This will be a great place for our PLC's to "meet" and collaborate. Hopefully we librarians can use this tool to share. Google docs is another way to work with others.

Session 4: Photos & Images

Flickr is going to be a blast to use! I can't wait to share recent photos with family & friends!

Session 3: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

I love Del.icio.us. Trying to remember a great site I've saved as a Favorite is usually a pain as I try to remember the steps and links it took to find it. More times than not I am unsuccesful so here is the perfect solution!! The ability to tag and organize my websites is another one of my fav things about Web 2.0!!
Technorati is also also an awesome place to go search blogs!!

Session 2: RSS & Newsreaders

Today I have learned about blogging and RSS. While looking for librarian blogs to enrich my summer I ran into this yummy chocolate pie recipe. The title is "Only Here for the Food."

I have enjoyed learning new technology!! I am looking forward to learning to use Flickr!

There have been a few frustrating moments but many more have been rewarding... more tomorrow!

Session One Blogging

Goals for this class:

1. I would like to be able to show my students how to blog so that they can review/recommend books.

2. I would like to learn new technology to keep my students engaged!
