It’s a great feeling to be finished, I think I’ll ask for my certificate to be presented at assembly.

It has been an interesting experience and I have explored some things I never knew existed Some I won’t revisit others I intend to explore further. I do enjoy my I Google page, particularly my weekly recipe.

Probably my least favourite aspect was the number of user names and passwords I have created – it is so difficult to keep track

I enjoyed looking at the World E book fair and searched for some books out of interest. I found some but was disappointed not to find a book from my childhood that has been lost and is now out of print.

I liked the idea of Libri Vox podcasts with the free audio books, this is a site I will revisit – particularly next time I do a long car trip.

This looks fascinating and I can see how people could be hooked on it, however I think my first life keeps me busy enough.

I’m not sure about using it with students – bit confused about the cost and security aspects. 

Had fun with both these sites. My daughters’ download the Hamish and Andy podcast but I had never thought of using it myself.I can now see the possibilities fot me and for use within the classroom as students access information in an audio format.

I knew about the existence of YouTube and although I’d never searched it I have been shown/emailed many videos. However I didn’t know about TeacherTube and I enjoyed searching this site.

Here is a link to a video on an Indian dance

I have created my own search roll with two of my most useful websites for India. I have also included someone else’s search roll – they have many Indian travel sites included.

I think I would be more inclined to use Rollyo to see other people’s search rolls and discover some good sites.

It was interesting to look at the wide range of Wikis available and great to see a different way information can be collected and organised allowing people to share ideas.

I linked to a library in Kerala, India and was interested to see a picture of the library and read the library rules.

I will think about the possibilities for our school, we only have 4 classes of primary – Years 5 & 6 and they could be a good starting point for a WIKI. 

Just set up my del.icio.us account. I bookmarked and tagged a travel website and discovered 6,954 others had done the same site. I also tagged a data base, along with only 164 people.

I think this site would be most useful for tagging sites when I am helping my debating students do some research on their topics.

Library 2.0 looks interesting, I didn’t know this existed before today and there is so much that you could do with it. I am going to revisit it one evening at home when I don’t have any interruptions.

I think I found this the easiest of all the tasks so far. I enjoyed adding the gadgets. I added all the required gadgets – Book of the Day, Librarian’s Internet Index, Google Map Search, Google Docs and Editgrid Spreadsheets. Then for interest I added Aussie Recipes and a currency converter. Finally just for fun I included Puppy of the Day and Pacman.

 Work at Google! I couldnt contemplate it- 5 free restaurants wouldn’t be good for me, I would have to spend the rest of the day at the gym, pool etc and wouldn’t get any work done.

I convinced my daughter to let me explore her Myspace – under supervision of course. The photos on it were particularly impressive, they consisted of collages, photo frames around them and a mixture of black and white and colour in the one photo.

I then set up Myspace, this looks very amateurish in comparison but so far I have one photo on and two friends!     

I was interested in the U.S library pages, the “ask a librarian” pages looked useful. I haven’t discovered any local libraries that include a Myspace page.

I really enjoyed this week’s task. I played with my daughter’s deb photos and put her on many glamorous magazine covers. I have never used image generators before so it was a learning experience and I will go back later to do some more experimenting.

LibraryThing  I joined libraryThing and looked up some of my favourite books. The section I was most interested in was LibraryThing Local which informs about local events such as author readings, discussions etc. I’ve always planned to attend literary lunches when I retire and I think this could be a good way to find out whats on.
