It is very entertaining type of site!! ................

You tube, I like the " search" icon. You can use it for study purposes or a fun purposes though this icon. For Example, I searched for the "Environment" I had some relevant and irrelevant entries like "Save the environment", good comment and rating. Also, I had "Ali G Environment, which is you can ignore or view it for a fun purposes.

I add this video which is about "Public school Vs. Private school", entries like that may be usefully for parents wanted to know or to have ideas for their children's schools. You can view the comments and see the rating.

Also, I always liked the "Embeddable player", the codes of HTML which you can copy and past it on your blog, or in the future if the library can implemented on the Library website.

It is wonderful!! ..................

Woooooww, It is amazing! .........

I'm sure we all will like this award categories if we can get access to them. I showed them to my children, they love it. My 22 Y.O. son liked the Visual Arts site as part of his study. My 18 y.O. daughter was interested in Web Development and Design as part of her study as well.

All the categories are fantastic to view them. I nominated " Video" category such as You Tube, Daily motion, and Meta cafe. I like the comments and the ratings. I'm interested in viewing videos and explore about what's going on if I want to search about something, e.g. Searching about the "Environment", I found a lot of good videos to view and get the ideas.

I think, they are useful for the public libraries as it can fit with all the ages and backgrounds.

At the end, I went to explore a bit on the Web 2.0 tool Directory, after I was tired, I found myself carried on, and on viewing each one and it is really worth to spend time to explore them.

I'm sure you'll love 'em.

Activity # 18

Oh!.... What a great experience , I learned a lot in this activity! ........
I feel like a fish in an ocean.

I like the fact that I can involve people with any kind of discussion, and that is good for anybody is doing a research and need to involve people opinions .

when I write something I have the option of whether to mark it as "Read only" so no one can make any edit on it, or I can mark it as "Read/Write" so can make it open for every one to make any edit on it.

I like the options on the page for Zoho Writer's. Does any body like it?, and how did you find this page, is it easy to use?. It is open for discussions.

Please you can send your comments. Welcome! .........

Cooooool!, it is fantastic .......

I created my own PBWiki, and I can view others as well. It is as easy as a piece of cake!!, I really enjoyed this activity. When I put anything to be shared with others , I feel that every one is listening and communicate with me, and I'm not lonely at all. It is a sharing information. I can go on, on , and on. exploring and playing till I get tiered. Even when I go to sleep I start to have ideas and things in my mind about the beauty of exploring and playing with Wiki.

It is brilliant .................... Enjoy.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers.

Activity # 16

Wiki, Wiki, wiki!!

It is amazing, a new study for me in general.

I learned that Wiki is a website and on-line database, it is info. service which can be open up new possibilities for collaboration between the library and the customers. I found that Wiki is a great format for a subject guide. Also, I like the book lovers wiki which is developed by the Princeton public library. It is open up to the community by rating and reviewing their books, so community can make their own judgement by assessing information - it is opening a debate amongst community. Thus, it is sharing information.

It is interesting that every library can have the ability to develop a web page, add content, and edit its website, to includes as many relevant links as possible. Referring to Peter Blake study of "Using a wiki for info. services: ..." from Australian Catholic University, that when the website open to the debate for the community to edit the page, can enables the library to learn what solutions or strategies are actually in use, and then either provide targeted correction, when the solutions are inadequate or adopt the solution. I can get the idea behind this study that it may work well if we can create a link to the right answer by "See also" page to direct customers to correct information by doing extra search related to this matter.

So why not with these new technology these days.
Love it all.
Cheers.

Hi Everyone,
Is it great to read about these five perspectives, I can Say .....................................

Wow, Library has changed and will change too much for the future with the new technology.
No books any more in the library ?, I don't think so. E-books, you can even view them on-line using your laptop.

I used to study on-line, I read and read and do my homework using my magic box "My laptop". Laptop looks like my school bag, it has my e-books, e-mails, some library collections and every things I saved in it.

According to the five perspectives, I think our kids will not need to go to school in the future, they can study from home. Libraries will look like school, and library staff/Librarians will be teachers. People all ages will search, chat, playing games, and educate themselves using the Internet at the library. All you need is your magic box/bag "Your laptop" with a wire less to the library to study.

With the new technology like Internet, USB, Ipod, Phone, Camera, and most of it our skills of how to use them, we will create something really good for education.

Good luck people for the good future with technologies.

Oh, my God,
My eyes are sore ........................

It is full of technology!!!

The think interested me which is I can see my codes down the page, so when you want to search for some thing you can quickly copy and past it in you blog. It looks like a search engin for me, which you can access all the links about the topic you searched for.

I like the "Advance Search", then I like the "Tags". I found that the results are different when you do search popular blog, searches, and tags.

It is amazing. Is it why it is called "Technorati"?.

Activity # 7 - Technology of the week

I felt I'm over the moon when a friend of mine brought her laptop home and made a surprise for me,

"Guss what you talking to [Name] your best freind when you was in high school", she said.
I did't beleive my eyes to see her face on the camera, which has built in the laptop computer, on the Internet.
It was magic. So, I think Internet, computer with camera buit in is a wonderful technology, to see and speak to someone miles away from you.

However, it is scary, we don't know what will happen in the future with Technology!!
