Thing 10


Oh, the possibilities. I can see having so much fun with these image generators. I created the poster on the left with Image Chef. The link is http://www.imagechef.com/.
The image on the right was created with Comic Strip Generator.
I will have fun sharing these ideas with my students to use in their class work or for their personal use.

Thing 9

Well, I'm overwhelmed with all the RSS feeds- so much wonderful information, but too little time to read them all. I did find some fantastic feeds from outstanding librarians and I'm looking forward to surrounding myself with their knowledge. I'm sure I'll learn to skim and look for the information I need, but right now I'm exhausted.

Thing 8

I've been hearing about RSS feeds and now I know what all the excitement is about. I subscribed to 5 library blogs- Librarian Philosopher, Top Shelf, 2 Cents Worth, Kathy Schrock's KoffeeKlatch, and Joyce Valenza's NeverEndingStuff. I'm looking forward to keeping current on the items that are noteworthy to them.

I am a new library coordinator and these library feeds will keep me current on new issues and new technologies. I, in turn, can share them with my librarians through my public page.

I can see the value of RSS feeds in the library, by linking our library resources directly to our students' and/or teachers' web pages.

Thing 7 again

Our Trip to Great Britain

OK, me again. I keep learning new things about Web Album. I guess this is what it's all about. I know you're not really interested in seeing these pictures, but I'm having fun experimenting.

Thing 7 addendum


I experimented with embedding a slide show of our trip to Great Britain. This is getting cooler by the minute. Unfortunately, I'm so excited with learning all these new things about Web 2.0 technology, that I'm not getting any sleep.

Thing 7

I've been using Picasa for years but never experimented with the Web Album. How fun. I've gathered a few of our pictures from our trip to England and have posted them here for others to see. It was a wonderful trip. http://picasaweb.google.com/mlsaucier/OurTripToGreatBritain

I also started a Google calendar. I'm starting a new job as a Library Coordinator and this will be a great tool to keep track of all my appointments with librarians and administrators.

I can also see the value of Google Docs in my new position as I share documents with the librarians and get their input.

Thing 6


It is incredible the things I can create with all the Flickr toys. I loved the posters, magazine covers, and trading cards. I've created a trading card of my library staff and hopefully, I can get it posted on my blog. Here goes.
