Week 5 Rollyo

Created an account with Rollyo and explored the site for a varitety of topics. I'm not familiar as of yet with a lot of websites so I opted to explore instead of creating a search tool.

Week 5 My Library

Looked in my library and added 5 books to my account. This would be a useful tool when you're not near a computer.

Week 4 Library Blogs

I checked out the library blogs and through them, researched MERLIN.
It's nice to know there's a whole world of connected knowledge out there!

Week 3 Flickr mashups

Explored 3rd party applications and mashups using Flickr.com/services. Again, looks like a good source of information that I could apply to department projects.

Week 3 Flickr

I created an account with FLickr.com may use this in the future- looks like a good source for publishing photos and doing the department newsletter.

Week 4

Discovered Merlin this week and it was interesting to see the link to MD libraries and a whole world of info. Set up an account on bloglines. I can see myself using that beyond this exercises.

Week 3

Here are some notes about me and technology.......

I can't say I don't reap the benefits but sometimes wish we weren't so dependant on it.......
These are all very interesting concepts that we are learning in the 23 things but....will I really use them beyond this training..........maybe a select few but probably not. Knowledge is power ( I guess) so I guess I will claim the power and go forth at my job pretending I know what all this new fangled stuff is and how to use it!
May the force of technology be with us all!

23 Things Week One

For Week 1, we looked at the easiest habit and the hardest habit when it came to being a lifelong learner. For myself, it was the following:
* Easiest- To accept responsiblity for learning

* Hardest - To remember to view problems as challenges
