Week 10 - Post 23 The End
I can't believe that I finished all my 23 things on time. Every week was kind of exciting and stressful, never knowing about the next assignment. Every Monday Naomi would set up the lab for us and help us with our assignment. I learned quite a bit. I don't believe that I actually did all the new things on the computer that my kids tell me about. Flickr was my favorite one. It was fun downloading pictures. I liked facebook too, and looking at my daughter's pictures. I had fun playing around with Avator also. It surprised me that after doing a few assignments, I was feeling comfortable with technology. Technology is amazing, and how much stuff you can do on the internet is beyond my imagination. I don't think that I am going to use everything I learned because I won't have that much time. Even if I use a few things, I think going through this training is worth it.

Week 9 - Post 22 -Downable Media
I took a digital media training class in the library. Our Branch Librarian gave us this class. I practiced it at that time, and it seems pretty easy. Downloading information from the library and other sources is pretty interesting. You can download ebooks,audio books, music and video from the hcpl website. LibriWox explain how to download items. Wowio gives book suggestions which include summaries of the books. It is so neat to see how things have changed over the years, and how everything is now available online at any time of the day.

Week 9 - Post 21 - Podcasts
Podcast is just like any other site to communicate with a group of people. You can put your information out on the computer and any one can listen or watch. I don't think that I can keep up with all this informaiton because I don't have time for it. I added a RSS feed to my blogline for a podcast of Indian music. I listened to some of the music, but it was mostly commentary.
I find podcasts pretty interesting, and it seems like the possibilities are endless. There are always new podcasts coming out, and many of them are very helpful. One good one that I looked at was a podcast on how to speak Spanish. I think this is a useful thing for people who do not have time to take Spanish classes. Podcasts are making new things easily accessible to many people around the world.
