Peanut Butter and Jelly, Quick!

Using the PBWiki and Sandbox was very easy. The editor has a few bugs, but if you're computer savvy you can get the page to format the way the GUI interface is supposed to set it to and you're on you're way. I posted a section about 'Interesting Places' as posted below...

On a recent episode of Build It Bigger TV Show on the Discovery Channel, I saw this amazing city project called The City of Culture.

Video Link to the episode

It would be an interesting place to visit when it is completed in 2012!!! Here's a few links about it...

Yum! Yum! Gotta eat some!

After using Delicious, I found that adding related areas such as audio-video web sites I use for ordering and Accelerated Reader links I've found helpful were easy to upload to the site. I also added the toolbar buttons for Delicious and found it easy to add tagged items. I was also able to bundle a group of tags under Accelerated Reader.

Library 2.0 is somewhat of a futuristic dream for us until we have a good structure in place as to who will update each part of our website and keep it up to date with the many technologies and information we gather. Patrons and librarians alike will find all of this useful, but the maintenance will be challenging!

MySpace and MyInheritance

I like the idea of LCLS having a MySpace for YAs or for each branch YA to have a MySpace that would list events coming up, e-resources, and other related info. Tom's Zodiac sign is Libra. I played the pool game and got a score of 9. It was difficult to aim the pool stick. My late great-great uncle Limburger recently left me $1,000,000 worth of swiss cheese in his will! Here's a portrait of him I found at an image generator blog site...

Rollyo

This was a very interesting site. I can see the practicality of making lists of favorite or related category sites used for business and personal use. Examples for the library would be reference sites, book sites, and libraries.

Free Fallin' for the Library Thing

I created a catalog based on books about Tom Petty. I was surprised at how easy it was!

Image Generator

I enjoy using the image generators. I used one that made a street sign. This sign probably exists somewhere in Green Bay.

Blogged down!

I tried the Bloglines and RSS Feeds. While I use RSS feeds on my Mozilla Browser at home, I found the process of trying to find a useful blogline/RSS feed through the site very difficult and time-consuming. Unfortunately, the internet is a web of links that go from one site to another and esp. with Blogs. The RSS feeds are nice for current news if they automatically 'pull-down' from the toolbar and you can get a quick glimspe of what is going on. However, with Bloglines, you have to read each page, similarly to reading favorites links through a browser anyway.

Flickr

I created a Flickr account using my existing Yahoo account and that was pretty easy. I was able to upload 2 photos and tag them appropriately. It looks like Flickr is an easy-to-use photo sharing site!

7 1/2 habits

Begin with the end in mind - Easiest, because I like to think out things and envision how the results will be

Accept responsibility for your own learning-I'm pretty good at this because I have strong self-discipline

View problems as challenges-I look at things optimistically most times, so I enjoy this step

Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner-Usually I am good at this. When it comes to learning a second language, though, it has been hard for me to have confidence

Create your own learning toolbox-I am pretty good about using the tools that fit with what I'm doing

Use technology to your advantage-I usually use technology to my advantage, but I try not to use it just for technology's sake

Teach/mentor others-I enjoy teaching others and mentoring children, so this comes natural

Play!-Sometimes it is hard for me to play when I'm trying to get something accomplished. Play time seems like a waste of time to me.

Just arrived...

Well, I just arrived here in Southwest Florida. I'm just a Cheesehead in Paradise.
