23# The End

Well here I am and the pigs are flying out the window as we speak or should that be type? I have finished something I never thought I would. Thankyou to Linda for staying calm as I intially ranted at her when I found out I was on the learning 2.o list.Thanks also to Michelle and Deb for your help and encouragement with your comments to me. I have been exposed to many things that I had only heard of people mentioning, so now at least if nothing else, I have a small amount of first hand experience and will be able to hopefully explore more and expand on my knowledge in the future.

22# Audio Books

Had trouble loading this site as well. seems to be a common theme for me.....maybe my computer is sick? Finally got there though. Would be something a bit different for all those audiobook lovers but not necessarily computer savy as it seemed simple enough to use. I guess the books can be uploaded onto your mp3 player? For me personally, it's not something I would use or probably recomend to many patrons but I can see that for many young people like my children( aged 10 and 13), this may be the only format in which they will read a book in the not so distant future (let's hope not)

21# podcasts

Two of the three search tools to find the podcasts wouldn't load so I only checked out the one. This was fine with me as I really hate trolling through sites like these in the hopes that I will find something useful or amusing!

19# Web 2.0 Awards

Had a look at a few sites. I liked the one called 'Mango Languages'. It's a site designed to help you learn a language by being able to hear actual conversations and phrases that you can play over and again, so you learn in your own time. I will let my sister know as she is learning Mandarin and I often get her to teach me simple things to say to Michael Kelly when I work with him on Thusrdays, so watch out MK!

18# zoho

I liked the idea of people having access to free wordprocessing, there was a lot of cool stuff you could do with it to like the emotions and colours.I had a play around and created a little blurb but as usuall then didn't know how to transfer what I'd done to my blog. Watch out Linda B, that's my next question!

20# YouTube
