Task 10-Summary

Thank you for all the wise advice on becoming web savvy. My knowledge has increased to a Web 8.5.  The reason I rate my personal knowledge as that has nothing to do with your lessons.  All the information was excellent but you are teaching "an old dog new tricks" and I need more practice to increase my personal comfort level.  The most challenging part was learning the terminology and keeping it all straight in my head. Information overload and having a busy summer.  The self directed was sometimes confusing as I learn better by seeing so having to locate the spots to advance thru the courses was sometimes a challenge-I guess we all learn differently- but once again my own personal challenge.  For anyone-like myself,who did not know what to expect or where to start- I would strongly recommend it. Hope you are able to run this again and I will keep all my notes/courses to refer to going forward.

Task 9 Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/JKeeling
 

I really enjoyed Library Thing. This tool could help me recall favourite authors and titles that I have read. Also it gives me the information on new titles that I can then read if I am not aware they have a new book. I will use this tool  again

Task 6: RSS Feeds

I subscribed to 2 RSS Feeds. First:  Jumpstart Monday Motivational moments and Secondly Readers Digest Version Health.  Google Reader is easy to use and really you can locate anything that you wish to subscribe to.  I will continue to use it as I would like to catch-up with some local news from home and I feel I can get the information easy this way.  Good job on this lesson

Task 7 Wikis

I have decided to also bring Brocolli Salad to the family Picnic. If not eaten I would love to take it back home to enjoy the leftovers by myself .It is nutritional- but sweet and yummy.  The PB Wikis was easy to use but on a personal basis is not of much use to me.

Task#6 Productivity Tools

Task 5- Picasa

Just finished looking around the site and there is a lot of talent out there. The site is very interesting and I will probably continue to use it. There was not any tag that I found but a label called Paris_aube 5.  Have a great week and look forward to next weeks challenge.

Task 4 Social Networking

Very good class again. I do not wish to open a twitter account at this time as I am still new to all of this and I am not comfortable that I have enough knowledge in the ability to ensure that my information remains private. I think I will open a facebook account as I feel that would be a better way to keep in contact with my family and all the new happenings. Now that I live "Away" it would be an easier way to communicate.  Thanks again

Task 4 Tagging

I added google and Burlington Public Libraries to my Diigo account. I tagged Google with search and Burlington Public Library with Library.  Because I do not search the web much and I am unable to use this at work I will probably not use this Diigo account in the future for tagging and bookmarking. Thanks for the lesson though. Sorrry I was late but I did not have access to a computer when I was on the road

You tube Task 2

Betty-smother is on the road. Currently in Sackville N.B. And will be heading to Quebec tomorrow Not sure of the eta or if I am up to this but I am thinking of this as a marvelous adventure and I am so excited to have a new start and be close to my baby.

betty-smother says it's hot in Nova Scotia Rating my knowledge of Web 2.0  would be 5( but willing to increase this as time goes on)
