week 6 thing 13


have listened to the tutorial and created an account.

need a lot more time to explore this and understand how to optimize its usefulness

it's nice being able to tag sites and have them grouped together by topics, kind of like
your own webcrawler.

I've only listed two sites so far, and am not sure when I'll get back to it.

Having all of these customized lists and search tools is empowering.

week 5 thing 12


Rollyo is great! It's great having a customised list of favorite websites to search from.

Really useful for the info desk
Beats having to sort through a lot of irrelavant returns.
I'm looking forward to looking through other blogs to discover more great sites to add!

havin' trouble unfurlin' merlin!

Week 4 Thing #9

I'm having trouble understanding exactly how to use Merlin. Is this supposed to be an Rss feed for Maryland library info? I did post a comment. Maybe the name Merlin means you need to be a computer wizard to use it successfully. Yes, that must be it. aabracadabra poof!

week 1 thing 2

Thank you Ellen for the reminder.

At first I thought the lifelong learners tutorial was a waste of time; but when I finished listening I felt it was worthwhile afterall. I really liked the idea of treating problems as challenges, although
that will be a challenge in and of itself, so it's sort of a new problem! You followed that right?
I will try to use that mindset and hopefully will approach problems differently. So, that will be
the hardest lesson from thing 2. The easiest? Perhaps play! Downtime is when I'm most relaxed
so my brain probably absorbs new information more readily. Kind of a contradiction.
One thing that really bothered me was that the narrator of the tutorial kept saying learnin'
guess her lifelong learning didn't include the ing sound!

rss feeds

I've created my RSS feed newsreader through bloglines.com. I can see how it can become addictive! You could spend all day subscribing to and reading about new stuff. I was disappointed
that the feed for Unshelved wasn't working. I love those cartoons! I added a VH1 movies feed that I found on another participants blog. I really like the book review feeds- for me that is the most useful right now. The reader's review feed is a bit disappointing in that there is generally only one line of review ; not enough to let you know if they thought it was really worthwhile.
The summaries are helpful tho'.
