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 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.
