Thing #23 of 23

  • What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?PBWiki, My Heritage, Zoho Writer
  • How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? It has opened some door to new tech possibilities and I have been able to experience some things I had not previously experienced.
  • Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? I was surprised at how much this program intersected with personal tech goals.
  • What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? Please maintain the small learning increments format. That is best when many people are trying to do this at a service desk. I still need to go back over some of this. . . .

    And last but not least…

  • If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again choose to participate? Definitely!

Okay. So I tried to get the RSS feed from www.nlc.state.ne.us/Feeds/BookTalk.xml and was given the message that I had to validate my account with another email reply and that is not showing up, so I will have to wait on that step.

I found that some of the podcasts I tried to explore were not available to me.

We have staff-made podcasts on our public website: www.lincolnlibrarie.org.

Of the recommended videos, the fifties commercials and the sixties music videos were a total blast from the past! I enjoyed the librarian giving the "how to" to a log. Or was it a bump on a log?

As for my personal preference from YouTube, this is a fave:

I am so impressed with this awards list-. What a mind boggling array of opportunity!

I have never had time to really explore Google and its capabilities. So much to see and do and use!

I can see uploading all of my library docs to Google and not having to worry about losing them locally.

I also tried the My Heritage site and see so much possibility!

We already use wikis at our library. "They are something else to check in addition to email." I have heard that comment from more than one staff member.

I see the advantages to a wiki.

I can think of the advantage of having a family wiki for telling the family stories. . . .
