I feel that Wiki's would be a useful tool in the workplace to share ideas with groups-allowing everyone to have a say and also having it seen by all. It could also allow large groups to have discussions without having to find a time and place that would be convenient for everyone involved.otchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15623893311876699439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89452730492400694.post-52698677729588947102007-11-19T16:44:00.000-08:002007-11-19T16:51:19.820-08:00The EndI have learned a lot from this program. The challenge will be to find time to use some the sites so I can remember how to use them. I liked using YouTube to see/listen to old music videos. If we are offered another program like this I would like to participate. Next time though, I will do my blogs as I go along instead of waiting until the end to do them.otchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15623893311876699439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89452730492400694.post-32094717700008656752007-11-19T16:28:00.000-08:002007-11-19T16:44:10.391-08:00Project GutenburgAfter playing with Net Library and then Project Gutenburg, I was able to download "Beowulf" with assistance from Chris.

I listened/watched several podcasts but could not see how to put it in my blog. There were several sports related pods that I liked-it seemed like I was watching the news on TV. Again, I can see that this would be a helpful tool to customers in their search for info.otchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15623893311876699439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89452730492400694.post-69394307145812013622007-11-17T12:56:00.000-08:002007-11-17T13:04:45.551-08:00You TubeHere is a sight that I have used a lot from home to torture my kids with old 70s and 80s songs like "The Bertha Butt Boogie", "Mr Jaws", "Long Tall Glasses" and "Rock Lobster"-to name a few.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_CBOhw2wSZo&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_CBOhw2wSZo&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>otchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15623893311876699439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89452730492400694.post-37613051079770004742007-11-17T12:38:00.000-08:002007-11-17T12:56:11.602-08:00Web 2.0 Awards listThis is the short list? Only a 123 that I wish I had time to play with more of them! I was able to check out 'Fuzz Mail". Not sure what the point of that was-to see how fast (or slow )you type an e-mail? Arcaplay has lots of games. I tried out Frantic, and MarioCart Underground. I also checked out "Guess The Google" but it would not tell you the correct answer.otchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15623893311876699439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89452730492400694.post-31176470386322825962007-11-17T11:27:00.000-08:002007-11-17T12:38:17.084-08:00ZohoI like that you would be able to use it anywhere from the web.

It could allow businesses and organizations to update info on programs and the like without constantly issuing new catalogs. Sharing sucesses in the library could also help get info to us quicker without holding meetings. We could also put out a topic for discussion and get everyone's input without using e-mail and hitting the reply all button to keep everyone up-to-date.otchophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15623893311876699439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89452730492400694.post-57022837713744644592007-11-17T10:57:00.000-08:002007-11-17T11:00:24.951-08:00Web 2.0I read all of the posts.
