Conclusion

I've always heard about all these new technologies and even have seen them in the corners of different websites. Now understanding what they are and being able to use them is so exciting. My favorite one is Del.icio.us. Now I can view all the favorites I make from any computer. This whole program was useful for me in that I can learn new technologies that I need to know at my own pace going step by step. What surprised me was that they were not as complicated as I thought and by following the instructions I was successful in everything I learned. The only thing that could have been done differently would be to give the process more time. Along with all my other duties I had at work, it was hard to give this project as much attention to detail as I would have wanted. I felt rushed to quickly get it done. I would have liked to have had a month to play with each new concept so that I could fit it in when I had time.

Digital Media Collection

I listened to Agatha Christie's The ABC Murders. The British male's voice made it more interesting to listen to. Following along to to see who or what Christie will use for the next letter of the alphabet makes the story even more interesting to listen to.

Podcasts

Looking at Postcast Alley and typing in French, I found tons of podcasts to learn and listen to French. What a wonderful discovery. This can be so helpful not only for myself but also to recommend to patrons who are looking for more language learning audio.

YouTube

There was a Spanish soap opera I used to love to watch but it ended several years ago. I typed in the name of the soap "El Amor no tiene Precio" and was able to see some of the best scenes from that soap. It brought back memories.

Web 2.0 tools

Although there are a great number of interesting sites and tools to use, I found the indexing of other people's documents difficult to access. The variety of formats, backrounds and tools that one could use to create documents and power point presentations gives people room to be creative.

Zoho Writer

Now I can type up a document on any computer and edit it from any computer. I see a lot of possibilities with that. There's a lot of features on Zoho and they're easy to use.

PBCLS Wiki

I like how easy it is to add anything to the pbcls wiki. Seeing what others submitted is very interesting. Being able to link directly to a website for more information is useful.
