Week 10: #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

• I cannot really say what my favorite discoveries/exercises were, as I liked them all! I learned so much - everthing was new!

This program has shown me that learning is a lifelong adventure. Every day something new pops up. It's kinda hard to keep up with it all, but I'm gonna try.

I can't say that there were any unexpected outcomes, other than I learned so much and it was so much fun!

I have many, many great ideas that I'm taking with me from these newly learned technologies. One is that I'm making a promotional teen srp video.

Other things I want to learn about are any new technologies that come along. I think technology is the thing.

Thanks so much! This has definitely been the best library training I have yet to get. A great thank you to everyone who developed and launched it.

Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media

I previewed a couple of different digital media in the HCPL collection, although I wasn't able to download any: music (India Irshad Khan: "The Magic of Twulight") and video (Foreign Films, "Chaos and Cadavers".

I enjoyed checking out Librivox and looked at the Volunteers Readers Wanted sections. Wowio is interesting, too. I did find many of the titles that I searched for.

The Digital Media Guided Tour is an excellent step by step tour. I learned a lot. I feel that I now I have a much better understanding of Overdrive and downloadable content.

Week 9: #21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

I explored Podcast.com and a couple of other sites having podcasts: listened to some music and an interview with Idan Raichel, Israeli Musician and TLC.Discovery channel, and noticed that one can subscribe to my favorite TV show: What Not To Wear. I also enjoyed reading about how to become a podcaster. Technology has made everything so simple. I also subscribed to the Discovery Channels News - Earth rss feed.

Week 9: #20 Discover YouTube and other video sharing sites - "Yes HDTV - Chassidic Commercial, Israel

I love exploring YouTube for funny TV commercials, as one seen here promoting Hi Definition TV among Chassidic Jews in Israel. I love YouTube, because you can see things educational, promotional, music videos, etc. Like any other site, there are very objectional, abhorrant sites that are degrading, factionally incorrect, racist, etc.

Week 8: #19 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops

WOW, I love Zoho! I can see that software will eventually disappear and everything will become web based. And what a great collaborative environment that will enable us to be.

I created a powerpoint slide show with Zoho Show, called "Simple Document" about Green Building, such as the photo at left. I didn't have any luck exporting the html, but I will keep trying.

Here's the url for Shade House Development, green builders in Houston: http://www.shadehousedev.com/photo_gallery.html.
