Exploring <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Flickr</span></span> and the Sandbox Wiki were also fun. I guess I am a visual person. I suppose I also see some application for work and my personal life with these resources.</li><li>23 Things & My Lifelong Learning: One of the biggest benefits of this project was becoming aware to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">avaialbel</span> technologies and having the opportunity to do more than just read about them. For many of us scheduling the time to explore new "Things" is not always possible. The time is not always there. I am happy that I had the opportunity to look into these "things" that I had only danced around before, hearing one mentioned here or there, but not quite sure of "exactly" what it was.</li><li>Take-aways/Unexpected outcomes: I can not lie, I am so happy to be done. This has taken many hours to complete. I am taking away a greater understanding of online applications, things younger people know more about and are using. One of my early goals was to improve my digital camera skills, so this was a great <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">opportunitiy</span> to make a conscious effort to do just that.</li><li>How could 23 be improved? Maybe scheduling it during a different time of the year might help to free up staff schedules for the 23 activities. Summer is a busy vacation time and we also had 2 out on medical leave, so it was difficult to find time, but not impossible, for everyone to work on 23. The format was appropriate and "forced" some of the less computer literate to jump in feet first. I see more confidence in several staff, and they are more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">in tuned</span> to the new technologies. I was a bit frustrated with all the accounts I had to create for the exercises. I am fearful that the amount of SPAM will be increased in my email. I understand hands-on is best, but if some of this could be avoided, it would make a lot of folks happy.</li><li>Would I do again? Yes. I think offering learning opportunities like this are essential to keep staff involved with what is happening, and a way to improve their skills and knowledge.</li><li>My learning experience: This learning <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">experience</span> has been fun, imaginative and informative. Great tools, lots of fun along the way. And boy did it give staff something to talk about.</li></ul>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855930129545502443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030773585444354394.post-69174010741862119802007-08-25T12:21:00.000-07:002007-08-25T13:51:10.351-07:00Week 9 - Podcasts, Videos & Downloadable Audio#20 Discover <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">YouTube</span>:</span></span><br />This I have done with #19. I see the possibility of using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">YouTube</span></span></span> as a vehicle to post video for library instruction and fun. I have posted several <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">YouTube</span></span></span> videos on my blog, some embedded, some not. I did check the Yahoo and Google Video sites. Yahoo was not near as fun as <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">YouTube</span></span></span> or the Google site.

So say tuned!...more later.<br /><br />#21 Locating <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Podcasts</span></span>:<br />I explored the various links about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">podcasting</span></span>. Getting into <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">podcasting</span></span> would be a great tool for training, such as the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">podcasts</span></span> used here in 23 Things. I see that the "gear" listed in microphone, PC and software. I am wondering if there are other work <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">arounds</span></span> for people who do not have the microphone and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">software</span> on their PCs. Is is possible to upload something that was recorded on another device. I think, yes.

I will be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">looking</span> at this some more on my own and may try to post something before the 23 Things completion deadline.<br /><br />#22 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Downloadable</span> Audio:<br />I am already familiar with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Overdirve</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">NetLibrary</span>, although I have not personally downloaded any <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">audiobooks</span>.

My only complaint is that there was not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">enough</span> info on the main page about the project. I had to dig into the FAQs.

Yes.<br /><br />Several of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">wikis</span></span></span> I viewed for this 16<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">th</span> Thing, I self-emailed for a later and more <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">indepth</span> look.

There are many uses for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">wikis</span></span>: instruction, informational and sharing opinion. Although our library has a staff intranet, a library wiki for staff would offer a better vehicle to share the information. It would take the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">burden</span> off of one person updating content, which is a monumental task. Sharing our pool of knowledge and having a place for news and updates as well as library policy and procedures would give us easier <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">access</span> to the information we need to do your jobs and all be on the same page.

I can see the benefit of having the same bookmarks available from any PC one is using and also the collaborating/research uses. I did find the site a bit hard to use, probably because the tutorials had been turned off. I am not one to always read directions, so the step by step tutorial would have benefited me and my understanding of how all this works.I did create an account and put the main site I visit everyday, The Hunger Site... <a href="http://del.icio.us/areinecke">http://del.icio.us/areinecke</a>.<br /><br />#14 Discover <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Technorati</span></span> and learn how tags work with blogs<br />I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">impressed</span> with the amount of organization we can tap into to sift and manage information and social intercourse. Evolution and necessity in order to maintain contacts and not be over burdened with locating what you need. Sort of like getting rid of the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. What a time saver and way to leave more time for analyzing, processing and generating ideas. <a href="http://technorati.com/">http://technorati.com/</a><br /><br />#15 Web 2.0, Library 2.0 & the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Future</span> of Libraries<br />Libraries have been moving towards these concepts and practices since the advent on the Internet. We <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">identified</span> the changes to our roles and continue to work towards ways to provide our users with the services and resources they need and want. The notion of information evolving from a commodity to a product to a service to a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">neo</span>-library experience pretty much put the right spin our our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">efforts</span>. We are in a competitive market. Users, especially the younger generations, are more connected via social computing and will continue to increase. L2 means staying on top of changes in technology and identifying how they can be applied to library users. It means more of a collaboration between libraries and their users, getting away from the unidirectional relationships of the past. Libraries are communities, where the collective <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">knowledge</span> and experience can be shared in both directions.Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855930129545502443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030773585444354394.post-23381559543675489852007-08-18T11:22:00.001-07:002007-08-18T11:22:44.193-07:00#12 Rollyo: YouTube Meteors <div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/HCiebKpueAM' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/HCiebKpueAM'/></object></p><p>Saw this while playing with Rollyo.

I knew something like RSS would be "invented", but was not aware that it was already here and so easy to use. I especially liked the 23 things tutorial with the hands flying around, busy hands. <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/">http://www.bloglines.com/</a><br /><br />I have created an account with Bloglines.

RSS feeds for this is the perfect solution to keep me in touch with up to date information about new technologies. The Merlin site is a golden resource that needs to be tapped into. <a href="http://www.merlin.lib.md.us/">http://www.merlin.lib.md.us/</a>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855930129545502443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030773585444354394.post-82747436781183327462007-06-27T10:46:00.001-07:002007-08-18T10:59:13.610-07:00Cat and Kittens - #5 FlickrThanks Suzanne for helping me with the<br />"blog this" feature from the Flickr site.<br /><br /><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9395424@N04/639844912/"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2px solid" alt="" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1111/639844912_b7b3a937de_m.jpg" /></a><br />American 19th Century, c. 1872/1883<br />Gift of Edgar William and Bernice<br />Chrysler Garbisch1958.9.8<br /><br /><div style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px; WIDTH: 64px; HEIGHT: 26px"><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ></span></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855930129545502443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030773585444354394.post-59193283692739070792007-06-27T09:00:00.001-07:002007-08-18T12:38:27.960-07:00Week 3 - Photos and Images<span style="color:#000000;">#5 Explore Flickr</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">What fun with the images and photos.

I am now trying to get ahead of staff so I can be in a better position to help them when they get stuck.<br /><br />Looked over some of the blogs that have been registered and am <em>very</em> impressed. Some are quite fancy. I do hope that those who have been frustrated will start to relax, get the help they need and start having fun.</span><br /><br />#2 Lifelong Learning and L2<br />Setting goals -- ah, so necessary in order to accomplish anything. Adding the 1/2 to play = enjoy the process. Many of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">hardest</span> things I have done in life have also given me great enjoyment in the process as well as the result. Working on my educational goals, many seemed so long term, but little by little the efforts reach the goal.<br /><br />In order to set a new goal, one which I would like to pursue with the following documentation, is to improve my skills with my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">digital</span> camera.<br /><div align="left"><em><strong>Learning Contract:</strong></em></div><div align="left"><em><strong>Goal:</strong></em> Improve skill with taking digital photos</div><div align="left"><em><strong>Obstacles:</strong></em> Time/Interruptions</div><div align="left"><em><strong>Toolbox:</strong></em> Web & Other Resources/Digital Camera/Discs/Paper/Better Printer</div><div align="left"><em><strong>Resources for Help:</strong></em> Olympus site and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">listserv</span>/manual (paper and software help)</div><div align="left"><em><strong>Path to Goal:</strong></em> Each week, set aside one hour for project (do this on paper calendar - visual - as reminder)</div><div align="left"><em><strong>Check in:</strong></em> Every 2 weeks</div><div align="left"><em><strong>Sign It:</strong></em> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ahr</span></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">WEEK 2</span> - Getting Set Up and Registered<br />#3 Setting up Blog & #4 Registering Blog and Tracking Progress -- DoneAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855930129545502443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030773585444354394.post-70459245111877398572007-06-26T07:55:00.000-07:002007-06-27T08:52:49.769-07:00Getting Started<span style="color:#000000;">As usual, I am a bit behind in getting started with 23 Things. Several staff members are needing some guidance which has given me a chance to set my nose to the gridstone and, at least, get started. Finding time is the biggest challenge, but I find that when others need help, it motivates me to find an hour here or there. Once on track, we will all keep rooling. What a womderful way to be introduced and really get <em>dirty</em> with this new technology on the web.</span>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855930129545502443noreply@blogger.com0
