#23 (week 9) Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...

In the end, I found this journey very informative. Now my perception has widened and now I understand what potential resources are on the internet. I am now a little more confortable with blogging and viewing unfamiliar webpages. Before I was rather frightened as I don't use the internet for such purposes other than emailing people. Now I have learnt a range of skills, that I can hopefully pass onto others. I have somewhat grasped an insight, to the endless cabalities the internet offers us. However this learning curve was a large wall that I just managed to overcome. After all my ejoyment for computer usage has risen from my prior minimal level.
Now I personally enjoy using computers more than i did before(letter James was my favourite). As a result I can blog and understand some workings of webpages.

#22 (Week 9). eBooks, eAudio books and downloadable media (or "The end is in sight ")

Downloadable Media's webpage layout was easy to look at. I liked it more than Auckland City Libraries' eBooks and eAudio books digital collection. Even though i selected certain titles as favourites, they weren't genuinely my favourite. Despite that, I would still recommend those titles to people who are interested in Angelina Jolie's Biography,Peru,memory skills,alternative medicine or to reclaim joy and spontaneity in life.

#21 (Week 9). Podcasts (You don’t need an iPod!)

I personally didn't find anything very interesting in my discovery process. This is because of my general view towards technology. Despite technology being very useful, I wouldn't use if for blogging and finding podcasts. As I have only recently been introduced and learnt new things, it was another good learning experience. I can certainly show off my friends(50s up) what I have been taught through the internet. haha
Here is the link to my blog I have created in "Bloglines" http://www.bloglines.com/blog/tbaker

#20 (Week 9). Discover YouTube and a few sites that allow users to upload and share videos.

I liked how I could watch the full movie trailer, because on tv its the shortened version. Not all movie trailers are on national tv, so YouTube can be very helpful to look up trailers to decide which movies I can take my children to.
As for what I like about this site is the same as my previous blog which was also about YouTube. The only thing I dislike about YouTube is that I simply can't stop watching because theres so much to see!

#19 (Week 8). Discovering Web 2.0 tools

Out of all the sites, I decided to choose YouTube. I really like this site as when you search for something, suggestions also come up. Also, once all the results have come up, I really like how theres a count on how many times it has been viewed as well as the rating. This site really suprised me with the amount of videos there were and the range they had! They even had old videos of Japanese singers' performing, which I loved to watch as a child. I don't think that YouTube would be great application for the library, but we could link people to tutorials on YouTube for help such as using certain programmes online.

#18 (Week 8). Take a look at some online productivity (word processing, spreadsheet) tools

I think zoho writer is a useful word processor to use, especially for people who do not have a computer at home. But it is very convenient that I can use it without an internet connection. It would be a great place to save documents temporally or to add or edit documents. It was fun just playing around with letters, thinking that I can edit anything the way I like to see in the printed version.

Benjamin Bunny

One morning a little rabbit sat on a bank. He pricked his ears and listened to the trit-trot, trit-trot of a pony.

A gig was coming along the road; it was driven by Mr. McGregor, and beside him sat Mrs McGregor in her best bonnet.
