Lovely web 2.0 pictures

This is absolutely beautiful and looks relaxing!!!!

The last thing #23

I cannot believe that I am at the last stage of this programme. I really learnt alot about web 2.0. It was really interesting to see some of the staff so enthusiastic about this programme. Thanks to Mystery Man for all his assistance, enthusiasm and patience. Now that I have learnt so many new techniques I will be updating and adding to my blog on a regularly basis, so check it out.

eBooks#22

Looked at the eBooks fair website. I wasn`t able to find a lot of the books that I wanted to find. I settled with looking at the books that were on offer. An interesting way to read a book. I liked the experience and would appreciate being able to read popular or rare titles online.

Podcast #21

I had a look at a few podcasts and found them really interesting. The new way of the world.

Web 2.0 Awards #19

I had a look at quite a few of the web 2.0 awards and am pleased that at least I have played around with some of them. I found Ma.gonolia really interesting as there was information on there that can be used for both educational purposes as well as to have some fun. http://ma.gnolia.com/tutorial/AddingBookmarks

Online applications #18 Zoho Forms

Wiki's #16

I had a look at the wiki's and loved the Book Lovers Wiki and the SJCPL Subject Guides. Both these are useful for libraries and staff to use. They were both easy to navigate and had extremely useful information. In the SJCPL Subject Guides I particularly liked the word of the day. Today's word of the day is Syndrome, Alagille: Also known as arteriohepatic dysplasia, this is a genetic disorder characterized by jaundice in the newborn period, liver disease with cholestasis, peripheral pulmonic stenosis and unusual face.

Trading card #6

Technology #7

The Microwave, what a wonderful invention. Our lives without a microwave would be very difficult especially for us working woman. If we think about the first microwave that would only heat our food. Now one can heat, defrost, cook, bake and grill in the microwave. Yes, the microwave has come a long way, improved in technology and what it can do for us.

Web 2.0 #15

Yes, web2.0 is the way to go. I have learnt alot and have had some frustrations in my learning experience. Web 2.0 is really useful and can be helpful if I had more time to play around with it. It is going to be useful for all the staff to be aware of web 2.0 and to have the opportunity to make their own blog. Web2.0 has helped me realise that there are easy ways to make links through your blogs. I have found that once the links have been made it is so easy to get to other links.

Technorati #14

I had a search around Technorati and found that it had less irrelevant websites found than say Google. People have become familiar with searching using Google because it has been found to be easy to use, however if I had to start using Technorati it would be just as good and I think I could make use of it daily or when I need to use it. I like the idea that I am able to see the level of authority that stands behind my search results. From the searches that I did, I didn`t see the difference between a tag search and a directory search.

del.icio.us #13

Today I created an account with delicious. I found that this should be very beneficial to me because I won`t have to go in searchof all my favorite websites. I am able to keep them all in 1 link.

Bring on Summer

It's a lovely day out there today, besides the wind. Bring on summer, I love summer and hate winter. Yes, I know hate is a strong word but where I come from we have lots more summer than winter so I am trying to adjust to the Melbourne weather. I must say I think I am not doing too bad. My kids have adjusted to the weather better than I have but then again kids adjust better than us more mature people.

Friday again

It's Friday already, I cannot believe how quickly the days have gone by. If time is going by so quickly then I must be having fun. Either that or I am just looking forward to going on a nice long holiday. Having looked at all the different blogs has been really interesting. It is amazing at how much I have learnt about people through these blogs. Some a bit stranger than I thought but still interesting.

RSS feeds

Well, I think I have done these RSS feeds correctly. It was not as easy as I thought. I think I should give this to my son to do and he will have no problem. I need to get more practise with this blogging, but it just takes a bit more time than 1 hour a week or maybe I am just too slow.

Week 1

Finally I am on.



Okay, I will be honest this was not my first attempt. Just trying to get myself into this blogging thing.


18/09/07 Finally got to complete my first week. I thought it would be more difficult. I will have to get used to doing this as I am not the type to keep my daily activities recorded.

Wish I was here

Well, this is where I am going to be for my Christmas holiday. Yes, I know you are all wishing you were with me but sorry I will see all of you when I get back. I will enjoy my holiday and think of work sometimes (not really).

Wish I was here

Week 2

Okay it's Friday. Getting ready to wind down and start relaxing.

I need to get some exciting and hot topics so that this blog can get more people to visit it.

Until next week!!!
