#23 Is this really the end?

For my lifelong learning journey it is definitely not the end. Ilove learning and fully intend to keep on learning and discovering new concepts all the time- after all that is what life is about constant change... If you look at the techology avail today compared to what was avail 20 yrs ago-there is no comparison there is just a huge difference and people have aadapted and embraced the new technology as we will continue to do so in the future. Well, a big thank you to the Learning 2.0 program and the people behind the scences who created it- it was a very enjoyable and thought provoking journey.... Many Thanks

#22 Audiobooks

This will defifnitely be the way of the future for libraries, of course we would still need to keep the other audio tape and CD sets for patrons but the downloadable audibooks would be great for more techno savvy borrowers- I can see that there would be a big demand for this service especially the patron does not have to worry about returning an audiobook as it deletes auto. GREAT!!!!

#21 Podcasts

Hello again,
I'm really keen to see how much of the course I can complete today, so I didn't find podcasts as interesting as Youtube definitely But I can see that they probably would be very useful in a Library situation to add to the website and also to whet patrons interest for various topics.

#20 Youtube

I still have a huge smile on my face from visiting Youtube- the downright funny and absolutely hilariously ridiculous videos on this website just boggles the mind and that's why it is so much fun!!!!!LOL You type in any topic somwhere out there is something to match it. I got really caught up just having fun and going from one video to another- definitely 2 of the funniest were; Tokyo Dance trooper in Shibuyo (it just cracked me up) and also the Spice Girls Tesco Ad-2007 very funny people.
Hope you have time to ctach at least one of these...

#19 Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

www.lulu.com

I choose this as my most interesting website ( after a long search). This is a really intersting website and it covers pretty much a lot about books from buying and selling books to (Even!!) publishing your own book. WOW!!! I must admit that I got a little bit sidetracked browsing thru the books for sale (I was really doing it as part of researching the site in depth-honest!!) LOL. Luv Talia

#18 Web Based Applications

Zoho Writer...
I signed up for a new accont with this website and I think that for me it is going to come in extreme handy- especially as I don't have internet access at home and so any public computer I use might not have the software programs loaded that I need to use. I can see myself using this site in the very near future...

#17 PBWiki

I had so much fun with favourites, of course I choose Books and then I said about one of my favourite and just recently discovered author, J.R.Ward. Reallly Really great fun...
