This is what I call hunting! There isn't anything more pleasant than having a good hunt.

Don't get me wrong I am an animal lover also, but if that animal was alive it could hurt people.

Week #7: Fun Stuff

I was eager to try the Trainco web 2.0 application, but was disappointed. It was less than what I expected. Dogster and Caster were cute websites. I would like to post my dog's pictures there, but I know I will not because I am such a busy person. (Southeast is busy all the time.) I really liked Blufr it is a good way to learn new and interesting facts a day. The Puzzle Player seemed okay, but I wasn't able to play any games because our staff computers are missing Adobe Flash Player. There was a web 2.0 application for my favorite hobby, but there was also a membership fee on the one I found so I did not bother.

Week 6:Library Thing

My favorite library technology is the Internet because without it I couldn't explore websites, databases, etc. I do not have a favorite library web 2.0 library application because if I did then I would sound dorky. (I already work for the library so my friends think that already makes me a dork, but I don't care what they say working for the library is great!) I did find WikiMapia interesting because it lets you see an aerial view of cities, your own home, the library, etc. It kind of reminds me of Google Earth, but these programs are not the same you should check it out to see what I mean. I also liked Popurls because it gives you the popular URLs to the latest web buzz. I am a heading ready so this is great! I also liked Propsmart it makes it so easy to find homes for sale. Propsmart gives you nationwide listing making it easier to find a home other than just your city or state.

Week 4:Web 2.0 Defined

I was not too surprised that OCLS had a myspace account because I was already aware of that, but I really liked the fact that OCLS has it. Before I went onto the myspace account I thought it would be boring, but I was totally wrong. I really loved the teen video they have there. I think having OCLS on myspace is an awesome idea because it helps us promote library functions. I have used Youtube before, but today I learned who the founders were and how much money they sold their business for. Young and rich...don't we all have that dream. Hey at least someone did it and I am proud of them. My favorite application was SEOmoz because it lets you know what websites rank in the top three for a specific category. I liked the game category. I clicked on the first place link under game and I had a blast. Everyone should check it out. There are tons of games...so get gaming. The Web 2.0 video was great, but it went a little fast for me.

Week 3: Finding Information

RSS Feeds:
For the RSS feeds I subscribed to Double-Tongued Dictionary Entries, Dictionary.com Word of the Day, Billboards, Library Leader, Technology @ OCLS, and others. All of the topics are interesting.

Grokker:
For the Grokker I searched colleges and the map view was weird at first, but then I realized that it was helpful because it broke colleges down to categories; if you clicked on a category you could see that there were subcategories within the categories. (Talk about a visual aid). I also realized that most of the links were linked to Wikipedia. (Although Wikipedia may seem professional my college professor who has his PHD told me to not trust Wikipedia because any one can edit the data.)

Learning Style Preference:
I am glad to see that we kind of discuss Howard Gardner and his theory of Multiple Intelligences. I can say that I have more than one learning style. According to Howard Gardner I am a bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and linguistic learner. I learn when I use more of my 5 senses. (As a future educator, I learned this in one of my education classes that this was true.)

Is Learn 2.0 Working:
Learn 2.0 is working for me because I can hear, see, and actually complete a mini exercise just like in my computer classes I teach. I know that two students may have different learning styles and by implementing auditory, visual, and kinesthetic the learner is getting the information three times making it more likely for the students to retain the information for future use.
