Week 9: # 23 In Summary...

My journey throughout Learning 2.0 has been a mixture of... interesting, fun & STRESS!

There were favorite exercises & many hiccups with Webmarshal. Due to this difficulty many hours were spent at home late into the night trying to get through and complete tasks. There were just not enough hours in the day to get through each exercise at work. There were many interruptions!

I must admit that I am more knowledgable after discovering Learning 2.0 and it was an experience to blog!

Week 9: # 22 Downloadable audio

Since becoming a dad for the first time in February this year, my whole world has changed!
Now having audio books make my life much easier because I don't need to read my son a story when I have had a long day, instead we can listen to audio books together. This is wonderful technology at it's finest!

Week 8 : # 19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

For this discovery exercise I have selected a couple of sites from list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees and I explored it. I found a things which interest me and I was impressed with results. I selected 2 different category :

• Photos & digital Images / tools : picnik.com/


• Travel / tools : realtravel.com/

With Picnik you can quickly edit your online photos , remove red-eye , fix underexposed photos or apply effects to photos. Link to this site is :

With Realtravel site/travelblog you can get real advice , real experience from real people. You can plan the trip with a free advice and save with travel deals . This site was voted as one of the best of Web for trip planning. Link to this site is :

I could see those sites use in library webzone (public computers) settings (desktop shortcuts) as a quick and easy way for library patrons to upload their photos or to get free advice for their future travel plans.
