Boney M Hooray! Hooray!

YahOOOOO!!!!!!!

I loved flickr, and all the online tools, youtube, and a host of sites that will be useful for doing my own job. I got a lot of useful tools and information, some of which I have added to my blog and more which I intend to add at the first available moment. I am now aware of a lot more technology than I was a few months ago and can even communicate better with some teenagers when they use their jargon. The life long learning goal will be to continue making myself aware of these new technologies.

This has been a painstaking few weeks. Headaches, trying to learn how to navigate through hundreds of new sites and information. Remembering new passwords alone was a chore. I have enjoyed the experience but have found it to be difficult and very taxing while trying to maintain my own job at the same time. Teaching others helped the learning process. It would have been nice to be recognised with a prize, but I guess that wasn't to be. I have already used some of the information that I have learned and am sure that I will use lots more. Lots of fun and hard work at the same time.

I would recomend that the organisers suggest a more realistic time allocation for this project as it took a lot longer to do each task than originally suggested. Even those poeple doing the bare minimum couldn't finish in the alloted time.

My goal was to arrange information that I have found useful so that I can easily find it, I have started to do this but have a long way to go to include everything that I found useful. I must admit that I am surprised at the quantity of useful information and sites that I have accessed during this program.

Audio books

There seems to be an endless need for a variety of audio books in our library and their are certainly some interesting titles on these sites. I love that the audio files can be downloaded and that after the loan period expires, the audio file is deleted from the mp3player. These are great features, and a great collection. Love the childrens literature collections.

YouTube

I picked a music clip, "Everything I do,I do it for you" by Brian Adams because it was my wedding song and I love it, also because my favourite movie is Robin Hood which the video clip previews. Cool!!!

I was not fond of the Questionable material on the site, especially for children, but on the other hand where was a lot of interesting material that I would not have expected on the site. Such as conferences and old commercials.

It may be useful for libraries in communicating ideas and/or instructional information on their websites. Or it could be useful to post conferences that people are unable to attend so that interested parties could still have access to the conference video at a time that was more suitible to them.

A very useful tool.

Everything I do, I do it for you
