Week 4 Thing 8

RSS feeds are something I actually am familiar with and have already set up on my computer. I did enjoy finding some new feeds that I added to my account: Librarian.net, Library stuff, The Shifted Librarian. The Resource shelf also looks intriguing.
So far, I haven’t found a way to use the RSS feed in my library program with the students. I do use it to keep myself professionally informed.

Week 3 Thing 6

I had a lot of fun playing with the mash-ups. The one I liked best was the Flickr Color Pickr. I can’t imagine a library application for it, but I enjoyed just clicking through the colors. On the other hand, I can see many excellent uses for the FD Toys apps. I made a trading card, a movie poster and a blog header. The trading cards could be a final product for a research project and the movie poster would make a neat book review to post in the library. It was very easy to use and manipulate. A+

Week 3 Thing 5

Created a set on Flickr of pictures of our recent library remodel.  I think I understand the process.  I had a little trouble with the concept of the set. After a few trials, got it.

Week 2 Thing 2

I am strong in habit number 2 — accept responsibility for our own learning — that is why I am doing this project.  I feel it is a professional responsibility to stay current one’s chosen field.  I would like to work on habit number 5 — create your own learning toolbox.  I am disorganized, and a  toolbox might help me organize the many hats I wear.
