#11 Summary-The end or just the beginning?
-The most important thing I learned from this was the de-mystifying for me of "new" web technology. It is not that hard, I can do it and it it pretty neat stuff. My aha moment came during the Flickr assignment when the enormity of the possibilities of blogs sunk in. I always thought blogging was just people rambling on about their thoughts, but it is so much more.
-The most challenging thing for me, I'm embarrassed to say is posting those darn URL's on my blog. Something hasn't clicked for me here yet. I am going back to read from the beginning and wait for the light to turn on.
-It seems to me that the Library can use web technology to reach the masses, particularly the young people. We have to learn to communicate and speak in their world, and this is where they are, it is second nature to them. The possibilities are exciting...we need to add blogs and YouTube links to our site.We are going to need more people devoted to doing this in the future I can see. Maybe Library Lady can figure out how to clone herself.
-I loved this self-directed model of learning. To begin with, it was put together brilliantly. It was like LibraryLady was standing there talking to me. I also find that I am a hands-on learner. It is the only way for it to sink in for me. Doing things on my own time is also a plus for me. Sometimes I work best at 5 in the morning, sometimes at 11 at night and I did this at all hours of the day.
For me, this is a wonderful way of encouraging staff development.
I'm ready for the next one. Bring it on LL.

#10 Facebook
I have been a member of Facebook since I joined our OBOB group. I am keeping my original email address so you will have to guess who I am if you want to find me.
Another social media that my kids seem to live by. It is rather neat to be able to go in and see other members photo's. Yet somehow I feel creepy when I do this. I feel like a spy. On the other hand, it is a great method of connecting with someone you know/have known whom you might not otherwise contact.

A conundrum wrapped in a riddle.
Well, I have come so far and now the confusion has set in. Having major troubles with LibraryThing. Took me along time to post my book covers, and for the life of me I can't get the URL link to come up. But I must carry on as Mr. Jones is hot on my little heels. (size 9 is little right?) Oh Library Lady...where are you...who are you...zyxwvuts..is this ringing any bells LL? URL's maybe my downfall yet it should be so easy. What part of my brain is not firing now!
