thing 28 Rollyo

Rollyo Polly o...just not something I ever got into. I tend to make my own lists of websites, to be sure, and this l;ittle applet seems to make it easier, but I have found that in the long run, not one of my favoriter places or sites to use.

I think that there is too much leewqay in its use, not enough structure..at least for me. Just my opinion. Perhaps I need to play around with it a bit more...

thing 26 Image Generators

I knew that I was never going to be a famous explorer or a welathy businessman, but with a flick of the wrist, a slip of the mouse button I find myself on the cover of the national geographic, or sitting in a suit as one of the wealthier men in americas! What a boost to the ego!...lol...but I have seen these filed professionally printed and sent to a printer to have it mounted. Not a bad prank, a fun joke to share...and an ego boost for the one on the cover!!

thing 22 flickr mashups and trading cards

At first this seemed like a fun and interesting little item to play with. But here it is a few weeks later and we are trtying to come up with ideas on how to enage the children into our activities...and lo and behold...a thought? ! How about making a series of trading cards, based on the various characters in the new program!

Easirer said than done, and with the knowledge gained in past work units, we now have a solid lead on the summer reading program, some innovative idea, customized to fit our needs.

Look for the trading cards coming to a library near you...as long as you are close by...and participating!!

week 21 tagging essentials

As one who works with information, I completely understand how tagging and decriptors help others find essential information. It is one of the primary reasons why I like the new technology that allows us as individuals to format, to shape, to make our lives easier with tagging...anything and everything in our lives. But one is to remember, that if you wish to share the said information...they perhaps there some try to be some adhereace top industry standards.

week 20 flickr

ahhh...my friend flickr...ummm...wait...I don't think flickr is my friend...it's user friendly...its useful...but I see no reason to implement all the details of my life with pictures so the entire world will have all kinds of information ...visual... at least...available to them.

Nice application, but not really useful to me...think I'll pass.

week 19 free tools , technoroti

There sure are a lot of free things out there, aren't there, but are they all worth it. Some have may had awards added to thier title, but are they worth it at a 'free' price'?. Sometimes...you have to remember...you get what you pay for!

Some of the tools that had awards tagged to them seemed useful, and others seemed completely worthless for me in my work...but thats quite alright....it would be impossible to keep up with every new innovation...just as it would be physically impossible to stop and look at every piece on display in the smithsonion...an impossible task.

thing 14 adding to the wiki

wiki wiki...who's got the wiki? and who has the authority to change it? In one sense I like the ability change something, a collaborative effort, and yet somehow it seems all too easy to shift things, perhaps to shed a more gfavorable light onto a subject? Possible ramifications for abuse might be too eays to pass up, but then again...it can always be noticed and corrected then, can't it?
