Thing #23

Finally finished! It was an excellent discovery process. I learned many new and useful tools: My Delicious, blogging, Flickr, and Zoho Writer were among the most useful. I have added Picture Book Subject Lists to Zoho Writer, so that several of us may work on them at the same time. This training also allowed me to explore more fully other tools that I was aware but hadn't investigated in depth. Among the frustrations were the many broken links and links that had outdated dates. I would definitely want to have similar training that would be more up-to-date.

Thing #22

NetLibrary and Overdrive should have been higher up on this list, as these are resources on our Website and librarians should be knowledgable about them. I have already taken the online webinar for Overdrive and attended the training for NetLibrary at Staff Day. However, I have never tried to download a book from my home computer! It's easier to check out a audio book, than to spend time downloading a book to my iTouch. I have resolved to try it!
