Week 7 Thing #17

I have tried several times to complete Thing #17, but I have not been able to access Learning 2.0 SandBox wiki.

Week 9 Thing #23

I really liked the Overdrive site I found and if I have time will use it for audiobooks. I also like the Library Thing to catalog some of my favorite books.The search tool from Rollyo will be helpful. I guess the most frustrating thing with all of these activities is to find the time to use the sites more than just doing exploration for the 23 Things.

Week 9 Thing #22

I went to Overdrive and searched for James Patterson books. I found many audiobooks. This would be a good way to spend my time driving back and forth to work.

Week 9 Thing #21

I went to PodCastAlley.org and I think this will be a really good site. I just need to find the time to work with it.

Week 9 Thing #20

I was unable to complete the YouTube activity because of the blockers in the county system. Can I still get the monitor when I finish everything else?

Week 8 Thing #19

I decided to explore Upcoming from Web 2.0 awards list. I was not impressed because at this time there is nothing in there for Somerset or Accomack Counties.

Week 8 Thing #18

I explored Google Docs. I don't see much difference than Word. It would be good to use if you don't have a computer and must use one at the library. Your work will be there the next time you log on.

Week 7 Thing #16

Well I have found an electronic version of Cliffnotes. After reading the reviews in Wiki, who would need to read the book.

Week 6 Thing #15

The idea of using Web 2.0 to work cooperatively is good. Finding the time to use is properly will be big stumbling block.

Week 6 Thing #14

I find it interesting that people have time to blog. When do they do it, in their sleep?

Week 6 thing #13

Today, I went on Del.icio.us. It is a condensed version of Google with sites that people have already researched. Perhaps with more time, I will see its usefulness.

Week 5 Thing 10

This was a flashing neon sign. When I added it to the blog, it stopped flashing. This sign says it all.

Week 4 Thing 9

I used Topix.net to complete this Thing. I found it interesting that Westover, Maryland news was listed. It even talked about Skills USA. Like I said, Big Brother is watching.

Week 4 Thing 8

I signed up for my Bloglines today. I chose my two favorite topics: Dogs and Food. Even though it might be great for some people, I don't know how I will find time to check this for updates.

Week 3 Thing 7

Most people love technology. I have seen the opposite side of technology. I have seen someone losing all of there data and having big brother watch over your shoulder. It also takes a lot of time to learn how to use technology correctly.

Week 3 Thing 6

In exploring Flickr mashups and 3rd party tools, I found a web app for creating your own calendar. Check out Printr Killr. I can create a calendar that meets the needs of my busy life which includes pictures of those wonderful Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.

Week 3 Thing 5

I just love my 3 Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies. Here is what one of them looks like.
