YAY i feel so good that i finished this. I lost momemtum half way through but fellow worker LIG kept asking me how i was going with the blog and finally i got back on the horse and i have past the finishing post. I dont think i am a techno dinosaur and i am definately not a techno geek , learnign new things does excite me but i do need a push now and then and this program gave me that push. I think the biggest thing for me is the time factor, i am leading a busy lifestyle i am already juggling full time work, two teenagers, a bunch of animals , an overload of extra curricular activities on the home front and a battle to keep fit so finding extra time to sit down at the computer which i have to fight for at home with the teenagers has been a battle. I am happy to say that i can show my kids a thing or two now and it feels good to be keeping abreast of new technology. I loved technorati, podcasts, wiki and rss feeds, i will definately take some of these skills with me and i have already used technorati in the work place.i Loved Flickr and some of the on-line generators, i thank the organizers for putting the fun things in the program, they really appealed to my sense of humour. I recently read some articles in a Library Journal and i understood all the things they were talking about because they were things i have coverning in Learning 2.0, The learning and knowledge has increased my confidence in embracing new technology and i have enjoyed the journey, THANKS!!

now this could be really useful in the library personally i am not the greatest listener so audio books can be a challenge sometimes, i think its something to do with my wandering brain patterns. Audio books are becoming increasingly popular and people use them for all sorts of reasons, just take LIG who i work with she is an audio junkie!! This is fantastic to know thta people can download some for free as they are so expensive for the library to purchase and are easily damaged

21# podcasting

i love podcasting , thankyou for the knowledge, i really will explore this one further both for work but more for my own listening pleasure. I would like to purchase a new ipod and download lots ot things to listen to when i am walking so i think this is great. Some of the pod sites required extra software, which i didnt bother with. I listened to some travel and food casts and will deinately revisit thes sites again

#20 YOU tube

what fun this has been , if only one had more time to sit and play. i decided that my blog could not be complete without a little Johnny Depp so be it....

How can i resist
