Thing 23 YouTube

When looking at YouTube I chose a video on the motorcycle DMV test. The video clip went through the entire test and showed close ups that were very helpful. Thye used some text at the bottom and added music at the end. We could use these techniques with library YouTubes. Especially when using YouTube to teach.

Thing 22 Flickr Fun

Wow! I enjoyed trying out some of the Flickr mashups and 3rd party tools. I created an inspirational poster, a jigsaw puzzle and a magazine cover. Flickr is fun and easy and some of these other tools make it even more fun. And I actually get paid to learn how to do this! How cool is that??

Thing 21Tag you're it!

Tags, Tags, Tags yes they are very important in Flickrland! Without tags there would just be chaotic collections of photos, imagine a Library without a catalog! What a nightmare.
The photo collections are only as good as the tags!

Thing 20 Flickr Fun

I created a Flickr account and posted some photos with tags. That was pretty easy. I have included one of the photos.

Thing 19 Web 2.0 Awards

The site I chose was under questions and answers. It was Minti and was geared to parents. How cool... a site to help parents deal with screaming kids in a store, learn what to expect from a 4 year old and a place to commiserate! I like the idea and even though I am not a parent enjoyed looking at it. Hmm...do they have one for parents of CATS!!!?

Thing 18 Technorati

I continue to be amazed at what is available on the web. Who knew just a few years ago that we would have such incredible access. Even though technology is changing so rapidly the changes are great. I love Technorati and know I will use it at home and at work!
