Not the End

I must admit that there was more than I needed to know and being just a part time employee who just fills in when someone else can't come in, I'm limited in the time I can work on this stuff. But, it was interesting and there were some things I would like to try more of. I loved the photo site and all the toys. Making gifts for family and friends with the photos will be fun.

In this process, I found one of my sons has a My Space with photo's of himself and his friends. That was fun to see. Nice to know that my kids are ahead of me on the computer. I have someone to call when I need help.

But I think the wiki will be the most useful in the future. I may need to check out some of these ideas at home. Don't have time here at work, but my Internet is slow at home and it takes forever to get the flicker site to come up.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn something new. I will try to keep up on the new stuff.

Wikis

I had been thinking of having my own web site and had no idea of how to go about it. This gives me a starting idea, but I don't want anyone to be able to change what I put on there. I guess I'll need to do a little more learning.

For our city, I'm not sure how much impact this would have. Not many people here use computers in their homes. Probably need another generation for that to happen, but the ideas presented were interesting.

Bookmarks, tags

One more time I am overwhelmed. I looked at the tags out there and it reads like a dictionary. I did enjoy looking at some of the sites tagged "Books". One was somebody's list of favorite book covers for the past 3 years as well as 2008. I love to look at book covers. In some ways I think this influences me in the books I choose to read (but not always).

I can see lots of uses for this, personally and as a library worker. I have always just added web sites to my favorite lists and this was enough for me. I'm not much of an internet user. But to use the tags to see what others think are "good" sites is interesting. Using the sdlib20 account, I can look back at sites we used to cover our lessons and I can now go back and review some of those items that I'm still not sure I understand. It was fun.
