Week 5: #12 The "Library" Elf will remind you!
Library Elf will be very useful because there will be one place to check for library transactions on all library cards in the family. No trying to remember who put what hold on what book, etc. What a time saver!
Week 5: #10 Play around with Image Generators
This exercise was fun. How often do you get paid for playing! While it is nice to know about the existence of Image Generators, I don't think they have a use for me on a personal level, professionally maybe this knowledge will be useful.Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Week 4: #9 Finding Feeds
Using the bloglines search tool was very easy to use. I tried searching in several ways and always received useful results Other tools like feedster and topix were good to know about and very interesting.

Week 4: #8 Make life "really simple" with RSS and a newsreader
This exercise was not as difficult as I had been led to believe. It was easy to register for a blogline account and to add feeds and blogs to my blogline account. Not sure how valuable this will be on a personal level, but to have some knowledge of bloglines may be a good thing professionally.
Week 3: #7 Photo Editing Tools
Used picnik to change colors, size and orientation of this photo of a symbol from a painted church! It was easier than I thought it would be! Hooray!
Week 3: #6 More Flickr Fun
Explored a couple of flickr mashups. Triggermap was fun to navigate and look-see. I really enjoyed the trip planner it has lots of great trip ideas and photos to see. Good fun!

Week 3: #5 Discover Flickr
Flickr was quite a challenge, but with the help of some coworkers I was able to complete this task. It seems it should not be so difficult. Feedback from lots of coworkers indicated that Flickr was by far the most difficult exercise yet. On the positive side, Flickr will be a useful tool on a personal level for sharing photos with family and friends.
Week 2: #4 Online Safety and Sharing
Read all the information regarding internet safety and sharing. Parts of it are a little unnerving, but computers are a very necessary tool in today's world, so it is wise to be educated about internet safety and sharing.
Week 1: #2 Lifelong Learning - Motivate Yourself
Viewed the tutorial and short videos. Videos were very entertaining! Made a contract with myself to learn the 23 things by the end of the year.
Week 1: #1 Discovery has never been so much fun...
Read this introductory information regarding IHCPL learning experiences program and viewed some existing staff blogs. These exercises should be beneficial to all staff. Looking forward to learning new things!
