Activity # 23 My Learning Journey

Yes, Yes, Yes, ...................
I finished all the activities, what a wonderful experience. I really learned a lot, and realised how the Internet became advanced and developed much much better.

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK some people who were dedicated at my work place to help us if we stack with unclear task.

I wished if I had enough time to explore, explore, and explore. I used to have a laptop for my study, but when I finished I really felt that there is no point to use my it, so I gave it to my 15 Y.O. daughter to use it for school. I get bored because I only know how to use it for paying my bills on line and check my e-mail, but after this learning, Guss what?, I will buy another laptop to practice what I learned again in my free time at home. I don't think I will get bored anymore, However, my fear is I may use it on and on and on, without paying attention to the time.

The things I mostly like and find it important were Activity #20 - You Tube, and Activity #22 - Audio books - ebooks. they are very entertained and educated. I think everyone in this world will love either one. Zoho Writer is another useful site to know, I found it it is really useful for sharing documents with other selected people for discussion.

I can tell you I loved them all. Each activity has something unique to learn from. Also, the way the Learning 2.0 program planned and managed was a good help for us and made our learning experience enjoyable. I wish you all the best.
Enjoy it and have a Good Luck.

Activity # 22

Woww, Talking about Digital Library ........................
I found this method id delivering the easiest Technology and the best selection of different kind of digital media platform that help customers to download popular digital items. I liked and enjoyed this activity as I found it realy useful to know all about it, especially, when I viewed the "Other Collections - Children's Literature Collection", it has A-Z resource list. When you view any title will take you to the "popular title list" which has realy interested entries to view. Children will get the most of this essential service in the library because children are into the new technology nowadays, they will love to listen and educate themselves if they get involved with technology.

I have done few search, eg "My fair lady" >>> brings any picked up words with "My", "Fair", and "Lady" on each title of the entries, which is good to help researchers with giving them ideas for their searches if the are not sure about the exact title in minds. Also, I like the fact that each entry has a brief info. about the item.

Any way, I liked it and I found it very useful to have this kind of service here in the library.

Activity # 21

Hmmm!!, Podcast, a new experience. ..............

Actually, I liked the it has the Search icon and Podcast Directories to choose from. They cover about every things. Each catecory has sub-catecories which is good to norrow the search, eg, Home & lifestyle >> Pets (one of the interested sub-category) >> then it will lead you to some good things to view.
site is worth to view as well, it is free podcast and it has some good articles about library news.
I think, it will be great if public libraries implement and develop podcasts for clients to listen to a specific seminar if they missed one at University or somewhere else.

I can tell you I loved to view every podcast, but "Time Factor" to be considered.
Enjoy everyone.
