It is over, truely over.
I kind of have mixed feelings about the program. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to be exposed to different tools, and toys that are available on the internet. Even if I did not like a thing, the exposure to it was valued. I am sure everyone has mentioned, and I have to agree time was a factor. But, since most of the things were enjoyable to me once I had the time I enjoyed participating.
One thing I would say is to find a way that we can continue using the "things" we learned even after this program is over.
My favorite things were making the avatars and flickr.com.
I would like to participate in another training like this if one comes up.
Thanks to those who made this possible!!!

Week 9...22
Netlibrary/Overdrive
My library has these two resources. I have practiced downloading on both sites, in hopes it would be easier for me to explain how to use them to customers. I still have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around it, but I think this is because I do not use MP3 players regualarly so it does not sink in. The concept of ebooks and eaudiobooks is great.
We recently subscribed to Recorded Books's downloadable videos. I have not heard much patron feedback yet, but I had fun watching Antiques Road Show!!!

Podcasts...
I am not sure about this either. I do not know how this could really improve my life. I searched the three listed websites and nothing jumped out at me.
I did go to the ala wiki and there were some podcasts there. This might be useful in the future, especially YALSA podcasts.

You Tube...
I really, really, really want to love this. It seems like a great idea and I hear so much about it. But, I am still not crazy about it. Some of the stuff on the is ridiculous crap. Some of it I find interesting and cool. I was able to see Faith Hill yelling at a fan at a recent concert. That is something You Tube helped me accomplish.
This could be neat, but is definitly something I could live without. Who has time to sit around and just talk to a camera and post it on the internet?
