Week 9 Activity #23

This was a great experience for me. A couple of my favorite discoveries are Yahoo Travel Planner and Flickr. We took a fun vacation this summer and I was able to share it with my friends and family using Yahoo Travel Planner. Flickr will be something fun I can use for student book reviews.
Participating in this program has made me feel a little bit more in the know. There is so much out there to explore, it was nice to have a tour guide. It was great to get feedback from the CSLA School Library Learning 2.0 Team and others participating in the program. I loved checking out what others were up to. I was constantly visiting Ourlibrarymovesforward and Pagespace, they both had great ideas and experiences to read.
If another program like this was offered, I would totally do it. Every bit of information boosts the confidence. Trying new things can be intimidating, especially when given a deadline or time limit. Thank you so much for leaving plenty of time to explore.
Enlightening would be the word I would use to describe my experience.
p.s. Libladylib I dedicate this post to you!!

Week 9 Activity #22

ebooks and Audio ebooks. I have learned a little about them in my library courses, but I really do not know much about them. Gutenberg Project had plenty of choices, but not to many things I was interested in. I checked out other participants blogs to see if I could get a better idea of what and how to figure it out.
Our library moves forward had great information about getting these from the public library. I guess I now have the perfect reason to get an MP3 player. There is so much exploring I am going to do to really understand how ebooks and Audio ebooks work. I am excited to dig deeper.
