This is only the beginning

I had real fun. I found out a lot of information that I have been using at the job. Since I became the Customer Service Specialist I found out that I have to give a computer class and all of the information that I have received from 2.0 have helped in such a great way. It also helped me with my regular customers that ask me for good books that they want to read. When I'm at work or home I can read all of the news in one place instead of going from site to site. I did stop for a wile because with the new position and the classes that I was teaching I fell behind, but I received encouragement from my coworkers and my branch manager and I have returned to finish the job. I feel so good that I have accomplished this task. I would do it all over again. but keep my post much shorter. :) I look forward to the next set of 2.0 things to do.

Audiobooks

You know that I realy didn't know that we offered digital books, videos, music and audiobooks through the eMedia center. I saw a couple of things that I wanted to download. I will have to try it at home when I have the time.

Podcasts and Smodcasts

I found out that they had Shakespeare pods. I thought that it was cool. I know that might sound kind of bazaar that a Young girl that has been out of school for more than 10 years likes Shakespeare but I do. I added it to my "blog lines" so that way I can go back on from time to time and listen to it.

I tube, You tube

I am not realy a big you tuber but I found this one video that I though was nice so here it is:

Discovering web 2.0 tools

This homework was the easiest by far. I love Library thing! I love that fact that you can keep a list of all the books that you have read. I read so many books that some times I find that I re read books. The only dislike was that you can't do it from work and use the scanner.:( The most useful feature of this site was that all you had to do is put in the UPS bar code number and the book popped right up in your library. (tittle,author and picture of the book)
I could see this very useful in many branches. I use it in my own branch right now. I have some of my regular customers that read the same genre of books that I read so when they ask me what books have I read all I have to do is go to "My Library" and print them a copy of it. They love it and most of the books we carry right in my own branch.

Having a good time

Well, I thought that this homework was going to be hard, but come to find out that it was rather easy. Since I gave a Google account I thought that I might as well go and try Google Docs. I couldn't believe it that you can actuality do a spreadsheet, a regular Document or a power point presentation on Google docs and have it looked at by others for there feed back. HOW COOL! I have been working on a book (off and on) for the past 3 years and I thing that I will be posting it and seeing what feedback I will get in return.

Facebook

I have a face book account but I like my space better. I have found some of my old high school friends, that was cool. I also can connect with my family that are in different locations across the world. But the thing is that I do it on My space because not many of them have my space.
