Tagging

I get the idea of this lesson and understand how it works. But I could not add Delicious to my computer. It would be a great way to be able to have all your favorites on all the computers you us and in the different branches. The only problem I see is that you would have to have one just for work. And only have work sites on it. One my run into a problem at work if you where saving fun sites on your work computer for everyone to see.

Social Networking

Having a Facebook and or Myspace acount for your library can be fun. It would be a good way to bring in the teens. Let them know what is going on in your library and what is new to read. It would take alot man hours to keep up with it all. If a library plans on having an account someone would have to keep up with it. The teens are not going to come if it is not up to date.

For myself I never have even looked at these sites before. I have heard about them, but do not have the time or desire to be on them ( for myself). I heard a newscast just today saying that someone can steal your ID by just your pic and info on these sites. We need to be careful about what we but on these sites and who we let see them.

Now that I have said that. I did get on Facebook and found my friend from college that I never see along with my brother and sister. That was cool.

Google Docs

I can really see these benefiting the library as it would any work place. It would not take long and this is some thing that can be used. Anything you would put in a word doc that you want everyone to edit or add to it. One would have to be careful not to put every thing on google docs, but it can have its place in the library. I can see how it would be nicer then having to e-mail every time. I also like the templets. I am only so so with starting a spread sheet. The spread sheets will come in handy.

The only problem will be getting everyone to use it.

podcast

WOW! How much fun is this. It will be a great way to show the world your puppets show and story times. It was a little hard to figure out how to get the video on the blog. I had to go the the help area and then ask someone else. Once I learned how to do it, it is really easy.

I love the trading cards. They could be a lot of fun. You could take pictures at your events and then make them into a trading cards and e-mail them to the parents. What a great "look mom at what I did."

It would be fun to share your pics with others around you. The possiblities are endless.

Just took is pic of my twins Zander and Ashton in the leaves.
