Podcasts/IM/Downloadable Audiobooks

I found all three applications to be very useful.  I particularly liked/enjoyed downloadable audiobooks.  I think IM is a good thing if you have a lot of time, but when I am on the computer I need to focus on the task at hand.  I do not really use the internet for entertainment.  I believe a computer course offered to Tinley Park Library patrons would be well-received.  I believe many seniors would welcome the opportunity to learn this.

Google Documents

I need to spend more time seeing what this is all about.  Don't really understand it's value yet vs. microsoft.

Wikis are wonderful!

I can definitely see where wikis could be very useful not only for our library, but for all kinds of businesses and organizations, even personally.  Will definitely look into this more on my personal time.

Social Neworking 3/16/2010

A fun thing to do, but, honestly, I personally found it to profoundly eat up a lot of my spare time.  With our culture being so techno driven, I find it sad that people don't have one-on-one personal relationships......everyone sitting in front of a screen instead of getting out there and being "personal".......sad.  However, it IS another medium for even more advertising streams.  Went into Orland Park Library's Facebook and found it to be visually, very boring (all the photos are the same).....have to admit Tinley's keeps your attention!

Class 5 - Flickr!

I will definitely need to review.  Computers running very slow.   All said and done and my photo did not post to my blog.  Had issues.  For some reason photos all went to Denise J.'s blog......WOW.   If I wasn't confused before, I certainly am now.  I successfully sent multiple copies of my photo to Denise's blog LOL.  When running properly, I can definitely see where this could be used on the TP website, expecially photographing TP events. Would have been totally lost without the help of Joy W......thnx, Joy!

Class #4 Pandora and YouTube

Got really hung up on Pandora.  Found it hard to work my way through.  Did not leave with a feeling of having a really good grasp of the material.  Will need to review.  Kind of familiar with YouTube...strictly for entertainment.  Time went by extremely fast.....before I knew it, the hour was up.

Class #3

Today proved to be much more fulfilling. Seemed to get through more material. My thanks to Glenn for all of his patience and help. Can certainly see that feed readers are very useful and efficient.
