Library Thing

I'm back to complete 23 Things cause I want a sparkling christmas tree thingy!!
I was prepared not to think much of Library Thing but in fact would use (if I can remember to) to get book reviews of my favourite authors new books. Easy to work through and could have spent quite some time on the site except i have a power of work yet to do before my sparking tree is on my desk.

Week 7 Tagging, Techrorait and stuff

ummm !!!
I'm caught between wanting to please Donna nd complete 23 Things before I leave next week and wanting to take more time and enjoy the learning experience.
Del.icio.us
i've heard people talking about Del.icio.us and know i think I know what it does. It's all about making order of your 'favourites' and beings able to access them anywhere you log on.
Can imagine that people who spend a great deal of time researching on the web would find this really useful. The more you delve into 23 things the more I realise how much there is to learn. Soooo much information .
Technorait
Often wondered how you located blogs. Now I know.
What does Library 2.0 mean to me - more information than I can absorb, Exciting to be part of the next generations way of doing things. Challenging but fun.

I'm won on Skype

Not such a bad things this Skype. I figure that Karyn and I could use it quite a bit. Certianly while the phones are causing us grief.

The photo is of Jessica Sophie. Jessica is Colin's latest grandaughter so I consider myself an almost Nana.

Doesn't get much bettter than this.

Talking Tomato

I think this could be a lot of fun. Once I allowed myself to relax and enjoy playing (not that playing is usually a problem). Think I'll try somthing else.

Another one done and dusted

My personal challenge was to be up to date before the next 23 Things comes out on Friday.
Found Flickr quite fun and not as challenging as I had NetVibe. I can see that I could load photos while I'm away onto the Flickr site and everyone can share. No promises that it will happen but will think seriously about it. Once again needed help to get the photo up but made it in the end.

Netvibes up and running

I couldn't even remember how to post a blog this morning but our trusty Donna explained AGAIN where the "sign on" tab was.

I wasn't fussed about doing the NetVibes section I must admit but once I go over myself I really quite enjoyed it. I now have a very attractive Netvibes page which I open each morning (to see what the weather is like in Paris). I can see the value of having everything together and hope to spend more time reading the information that is coming through.

Don't know how much more I can take on board but I will keep trying.

So here we go!

I know all this Web 2.0 stuff is meant to be easy but to be honest it is certainly not instinctive for me. However I do believe we need to at least attempt to understand the world of our students and what better way than to dive straight in.
Can't imagine that blogging is going to become part of my life but then again I didn't think txting would either.
