Overview

I have enjoyed this training, but admitt that it would have been better if i had kept up with the technology from 2.0.  With 2.1 I have spent a lot more time just exploring different sites, tools and options.  I would find myself going from one site to the next because i would find something interesting.  I am going to try to keep this new blog going and revisit 2.1 to keep on top of the skills acquired. 

Week 24 The Darkside

Malware, Worms, Trojans Etc

I am really quite carefull with any applications.  In Emails if i don't know of the sender then I usually don't open and Emails.  I have come across malware, where anoying pop ups occur, but have not experienced  worse.

Week 23

Mash ups

I have been exploring all sorts of different mash ups.  Soooo many ideas and fun things to do.  Below is a picture of a games corner we have but i was able to distort the photo.  I also found a way to play a visual memory game from the photos in Flikr.  Could have played all day.

Instant Communication

I have just explored instant communication tools.  I think that IM could be used in the library system for quick Q&A's. Also to advise of upcoming events and general what's on. 

RSS

I set up a Google Alert with the key words of Learning 2.0 and Library Learning. I now have lots of information coming to my Gmail account which is very specific to this training.  I have received lots of great tips and pointers.  Very, Very handy.
