The 23 Things (act 3)

I have re done all of my titles and gone back to add answers to some of the questions that I had neglected to answer during this learning experience, and also elaborate on some of the topics that I had been vague on.  If it is still confusing, I will try to explain here.

The Titles begin with a "thing".  These are referring to the 11 lessons of the 23 things.  The number next to the lesson are the individual things that are listed under the lessons. There are 23 of them.  They may no longer be in order, but the information is certainly there.  I hope this is more clear. It seemed to be for me, but then again this will be the third time doing it so "frustrated" does not begin to explain what I am feeling right now.

Once I set up a flickr account, It was very easy to join the vermont librarians group and add some pictures of my library to it! Now you can go there and see the YA section @ Sherburne Memorial Library!I also posted a picture right here for all to see!

Thing 2 #4

Something about technology that interests me this week is that I have heard that beginning this summer, facebook will no longer be free.  Knowing that I will no longer use facebook if this happens, I need to begin to copy all of the pictures I have there and put them somewhere else so that I do not loose them.

Thing 11 #22

I use pod casts all the time for book reviews from school library journal. They are very helpful.  

One way libraries are using pod casts is to help further their knowledge in the future of libraries and technology in libraries.

My director has the staff use podcasts all the time if there is a topic that she believes we all need to pay attention to.

the dates of these pod casts were outdated

Thing 9 #18

google docs is very similar to microsoft office and we are using this for the Vermont Library Conference
I like that everyone can check in, proof, and make changes easier than in office.


I had trouble with this one and posted as a comment under the 23 things

I CANNOT GET THE GOOGLE DOC TO MY BLOG…IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

Thing 9 #16&17

Who is Bill Bartmann?

The Douglas County library can no longer be accessed this way.

I also use wikis all the time for movie themes and informationa bout authors. A drawback is that you never know if the information is correct or not.  This may work well  when we are working on our emergancy management planning.

I went on the Vermont's 23 things sandbox and got a bunch of great ideas for place to go in the state for some good food.  I also commented that Kinchley's pizza in Ramsey is one of my favorite places to go! I copied and pasted that comment here
