#18 Online Productivity (Zoho Writer)

I am writing this blog entry using Zoho Writer, I really like this program and all of its features. I actually imported my sons football scores from his rec program into the Zoho spreadsheet. I find this to be very usefull because our program publishes the weekly scores on the leagues website, but if you don't have Microsoft Office you can't see this information. This would be great to use for that purpose and share it on this site, as long as it is tagged properly to find.

#17 Sandbox Wiki

I added my blog to Harford County's page. Was a little confused about the steps on how to do it but received help from Angelique and Debbie. Thank you very much ladies.

#16 Wiki's

I'm not a big fan of Wiki's because of the idea that anybody can post information. My son last year had this obscure assignment for science class and the only place I could find the information was on Wikipedia. I chose not to use the information since I could not verify that it was true, and sent a note to the teacher. I have heard things on television were people have put incorrect information on a entertainers page, this is why I'm not a big fan of wikipedia. I think the library could use a wiki to post their upcoming programs on and also book groups could use them to post future reads for their group discussions.

#15 Web2.0/Library 2.0

I have been working for the library for 27 years, in those 27 years I have witnessed a great deal of technology change. When I first started working for the library we checked books out with date due cards and a machine that took a picture of the date due card and book. Look were we our now, we have computers to check the books out. As for all the new technology that is out there, it is a must that staff know about these items to be able to help the public with information when they come in. I thought the Technology Fair was a good idea for the staff because they are some things that I am not savvy on and have questions about because my kids use these sites and I'm not that familiar with them (my space).

#14 Technorati

I did not praticularly care for Technorati. I was a little confused about were I was to do the search for Learning 2.0 but just by luck clicked on advance search. I got more under blog posts for learning 2.0

#13 Del.icio.us

Ok. first of all the tutorial was disabled, the other link was so blurry I couldn't watch it anymore. I registered for an account and loaded Del.icio.us onto my toolbar. Saved a couple sites into it.

#12 Rollyo

Today I explored the use of 'Rollyo'. I find this to be a very useful tool. I did a search for replacing the grout around my tub, and was impressed with the good sites that came up with information on how to do this.
