LibraryThing was a useful tool to help me connect with other people who have the same tastes as me. Maybe these young guys in this class know the existence of all these things, however I am once again amazed at what is offered on the Internet. I may not be able to utilize all of the possibilities in this class but it is helpful to know that they exist.
Here's a link to my library:

How to Use Photo Editing Wikis
I found the assignment, on photo editing and wikis, interesting. I did not know that a novice would have the ability to create an modify images on the Internet. Once again, I know that there are applications for this in my physical application courses, I just don't know any off the top of my head. Except possibly creating a better recruiting web page.Saturday, May 31, 2008
Podcasts are Poditively Wonderful
I liked learning about podcasts. These interesting video/audio shows were really helpful in finding media about certain subjects. I listened to a podcast called FITNESS ROCKS. I can see some applications for my college students for podcasts. I would think as time goes on I could think of more applications. For now it's just fun and interesting to me.
Youtube is Tubular!!!
I really enjoyed Youtube. I had seen some samples of Youtube before, showing people doing stupid things. After this assignment, I now see the value of Youtube and why so many people are interested in viewing Youtube and having fun with it.
Technorati is a Party
Okay I'll admit it, i was wondering how to locate and find various blogs and/or posts with technorati. I appreciated the helpful organization of catergories. I don't know if I will be a serious blogger, but if I were this would be the place for me. An opinion is like a belly button, everybody has one, so goes the way of blogs in the blogosphere.
del.icio.us is delicious
del.icio.us is a very helpful tool, especially for frequent internet users. It's useful because I can find my bookmarks faster and more efficiently as compared to the bookmarks installed in Internet Explorer. I enjoyed using the tags to organize my favorite sites and will definitely be using this for assignments to come. While learning about del.icio.us, I was attacked by two predator aliens. This is unusual because they usually only attack in teams of one. Despite throwing a metallic spear through my skull, I enjoyed this lesson about del.icious and the benefit of tagging my favorites. If anyone does read this blog, please respond to my content and the alien reference.
