#23 The End

Well I have finally reached the end. I found it both stressful and enjoyable. As anyone reading my blog would have picked up I am not the most computer literate person in the world and tend to use what I need to use, however, I have appreciated the opportunity to look at web2.0 and learn from it. I don't know If I will go back to many of the sites but I enjoyed making and adding to my blog, I enjoyed #10 and the pictures which can be made(I made the site a favourite for my kids to use), I liked Flicka, I got into YouTube and may work with the kids to post our own doggie video on it, but I still think it is a big timewaster.

Anyway Thankyou to the State Library and the team for running web2.0 and giving us the chance to realise that these things exist. I would like to do it all again in the future as I feel that I will be more comfortable with the technology on offer.

# 9 Finding Feeds (which I had missed)

I used bloglines to find feed on both Kevin Rudd and Jennifer Hawkins and added them to my bloglines account. It was not too hard even though I did the RSS feeds thing weeks ago and had forgotten about.

#22 Audiobooks

What a great service. There are so many titles to choose from. They didn't seem to work for me at home but I don't know if I have the right programs on my computer and do not own a MP3 player. It certainly provides users with a range of titles in I think I read 100 languages. That could be a way for libraries to provide other language audiobooks for their users.

#21 Podcasts, Smodcasts

I could only get one podcast to work for me, and I lost that one as I went on to try other podcasts. I hate to admit it but i will have to get my husband to try and get the podcasts to work, as most of the learning 2.0 podcasts have not been working either.

#20 You too can YouTube

#20 You too can YouTube

As you can see I have successfully managed to put a YouTube video into my blog. I found YouTube had too many items at first and did not know what to look at, but I searched for "puppies" because my daughter loves puppies and we spent the next 1/2hour watching very cute puppy videos. I have posted our favourite.

#19 discovering Web 2.0 Tools

I tried the games categorey of the tools as my son loves computer games. He had a look with me and said the games where good but that he had played some of them before at other sites.
