Week 8: #18 Online productivity
Well, I'm moving right along here! Had a look at Zoho Writer, at the page set up by Helene Blowers and at Google Docs. I set up another account and I even tried publishing something from my Zoho account to my blog, which didn't work. I don't think I'd use this much, I'm too used to Microsoft Office products, but at least now I have a choice, and can access this from any pc anywhere.
Week 7: #17 Learning 2.0 Sandbox wiki
This was fun, had a play around and added my favourite vacation spot, tv shows and my blog to the plcmc learning 2.0 wiki.I've also created a pbwiki, well a test run and I'll play around with it later.
Week 7 #16: Wikis
I've read the Discovery Resources, done the Discovery exercies and tagged a couple of wikis that interested me, like Wikipedia and the St Joseph County Public Library . But I'm not sure about wikis: if the content can be edited by anyone, how reliable is it?
Week 6: # 15 Library 2.0 and the future
Too much reading to do on the screen, so I'll read it on the weekend and post my thoughts on Monday - bet you can't wait!Just an update - I've read the articles and some others I found. The idea of our library collection as "just in case" is scary because it's true. The decision to purchase this book rather than that one limits the information accessible. But how do you make sure that all the information is current. A drop in circulation figures is indicitive that information is being accessed in formats other than print. But, to live without books....!
Week 6: #14 Technorati
I had a look at Technorati, and looked at claiming my blog but decided against it - already too many ids and passwords to remember and I don't know that I am ready to be viewed by anyone anywhere.I watched the Technorati tour and did a keyword search on "Learning 2.0". In blog posts nearly 33,000 results showed up, and increasing all the time; in tags there were blog posts and visual media of everything in the known universe tagged learning 2.0; while blog directory found 32 blogs about learning 2.0, sorted by authority or freshness! Each search was more defined by the keyword.I also looked at tagging posts, but tagged the Technorati home page instead.
