Last assignment

When I signed up for adventures in technology I didn't know what to expect. I was on vacation when it was introduced to the staff, so I only knew what I heard around my department. I was pleasantly surprised that I truly enjoyed some of the segments. My favorites had to be Blogging, Wikis and Wikepedia, and of course LibraryThing. I hope to use these in the near future, and keep my hand in the new terms of technology. At this point I would like to be added to semester 2.
As for my incentive gift my choice would be an "itunes" gift certificate.

Thank you!

LibraryThing

This week was my favorite! I like that I now can add titles to my own library, and keep track of what I truly enjoyed. I can rate, make comments, and refer back to. It's no surprise that most of my titles were cookbooks, and a few for entertaining. I hope to visit and critique this list in the near future. As for the unsuggested titles a few were Confessions of a shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella and Night pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Kids stuff

After being off for vacation, I'm at week 9 (social networking) and still plugging along. I think I would have enjoyed this segment if I were in my teens. I looked up my kids and saw all those cute fresh faces on the every ones profile page. I can't believe that I would really use this as a way of communicating with others. Maybe if I had a lot of free time, and was looking for some new friends this could be my last resort.

Week 8

This week was a little tougher for me. I think having two weeks off had something to do with it. In the end I was able to get through it. I think having more experience with photo sharing could be a lot of fun.
