Podcasts

Yep, I can see a use here too. I intend to regularly download onto the mp3 for my morning constitutional. I think I will start with the ABC.

I'm being dragged into the world of technology and enjoying it.

At the moment the staff that are doing this course are on a big learning curve, so we are all still thinking about what we are learning. Our HSC team is putting together a blog to see how much interaction we will have from the kids, and the results will be interesting. I think that audiopods could have a number of uses in the library. Even training.

Answer Boards

I have to admit that I do not know whether I personally would make a great deal of use of these, but I can see that the concept would appeal to young people.

(Thinking about it later) Perhaps the Taste website could appeal to me.

LibraryThing

Yes, I am now looking at the LibraryThing.

I have set up my personal library and you can see the link and examples on the left side of my page. Of course it is (was) a secret that I am a Harry Potter fan and now I have outed myself.

del.icio.us



OK, I have read about this and I am impressed with the personal and professional uses that it can be put to. Have set up the account and I will start to import my personal favourite links.

Did I say that I am bit of a genealogy freak (sorry), so these links will probably be in the minority. If there are more likeminded freaks out there they are welcome to browse, but I think that my fans will be a bit thin on the ground.

The address is http://del.icio.us/champagneblush. Ooh aren't I clever, it worked!

You Tube Week

You know, I really haven't bothered with this one either, but it is enjoyable too. And it was just so easy to embed a video into my blog. This could lead to all kinds of things.

Incidently, I couldn't pass up on this video. I mentioned before that my burmese cat is called Carmen Miranda and I love the way she talks to me. Just like this one. So Cute..... And how smart is that......
