#20 Reflection

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

I am very appreciative for this opportunity to become familiar with some of the newer aspects of the Internet. I will certainly utilize this knowledge in the future when working with patrons. Thank you.

#19 Gaming

I played a mind numbing round of Brick Break. Other than that, I am thankful for the opportunity to try out some of these games and have some suggestions on hand for patrons that inquire about computer games.

Week #18

Hmmm... I gues I can see the appeal but when I looked for my house I experienced a bit of motion sickness.

Week #17

Looks like I already pasted in an Avatar but failed to entitle the post.

Week #16 Online Applications and Tools

I am familiar with Google Docs but this was my first experience with Zoho applications. I can see the advantages of these tools for our patrons but, as I understand it, there are security/privacy issues.

Week #15 Search Engines

In your blog post write about whether you prefer any of the metasearch engines over another. I was pleasantly surprised by Rollyo. It retrieved the most relevant results and very clearly identified sponsor links. Did anything surprise you about the results you received for your searches? I must confess, I've been using Google almost exclusively out of habit. I had used Dogpile before for some reason haven't used it lately. In any case, while doing a search on an author it was very refreshing to see the author's blog in the top ten of the results list in each search engine.
