Week 8-Online Tools

Had a fun time looking at Zoho writer
A good resource for people who are not at ease with Word documents etc
It took me a while to get the hang of it but it was worthwhile
What to look at the Web 2.0 awards-a plethora
liked a few such as www.last.fm
realtravel.com and generally wasted a lot of time just browsing

Week 7-Wikis

Had plenty of fun searhing for wikis
Found http://www.wikifido.com/page/Irish+Wolfhound?t=anon
You guessed it all about Irish Wolfhounds

Had a look at http://plcmclearning.pbwiki.com/
and added my favourite travel destinations

Youtube

Had a great time finding old television series in black and white.

Trawling through Youtube is an eye opener, in more ways than one
The variety of stuff available is amazing
Regarding Library usage there are times it would be appropriate and I think fun to use

Audio Books

Loved some of the readings
Went back to my childhood and heard Briar Rose
Hated the reader's accent but memories
Also listened to Walt Whitman's Song of myself
at http://worldebookfair.com/Mp3eBooks.htm
Good idea

Podcasts

I have never listened to a podcast, so it was a revelation
I actually found that it wasn;t as bad as I thought
I have now subscribed to the book show
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/feeds/bsw.xml
and a few others.

Library Thing

This was very interesting
Nice to discover other people have such diverse tastes in reading
