Thing #7: Wikis

I heard of the name wikis's before but had no clue what they were! I could find this useful if everyone in your group knows how to use wiki's. I did not sign up at this time. I will though if I need to use. I did find the entry to Roselle, Illinois. I also did take a look at Schaumburg's 2.0. I think this would be a good idea to use a wiki, but in my case, I would get one of the last notations since I am finishing in April. Unless, someone is watching each day and getting the last word in. That would be interesting!!! Be back in a week to finish the last three hopefully before the end of April.

Thing #6: IM

This one I have used several times. However, I have never set my own contacts up. I have talked with Lynn Dennis several times when she was available even during off hours. I have seen this one several times on vendors' websites when you want to ask them an instant message to find one of their products.

I would use this one quite a bit!!!! Thanks, Lynn for being my buddy and walking me through!!

Thing #5: Podcasting & Video Sharing

I think I got this one. Hopefully, I did not add something I did not mean to add. A little hard for me to find the videos I would like to see. May be back tomorrow until next time....WE SHALL SEE!

Thing #4: Flickr and Photo Sharing

I am speeding up. I just needed help from Beth on where to look for pictures since I did not have any that I use. When she showed me where to find them I thought I was all set. Until only the name of the picture showed up. I thought I was doing it wrong until Lynn Dennis said I should click the next button and the picture opened. Well at least I think I am posting this blog correctly with the pictures. We shall SEE!! I think I need a few more instructions. Just like driving just when I think I missed my destination the street was one up ahead. Hopefully, I will be back tomorrow. We shall SEE!!. Debbie
P.S. Did anyone catch I spelled libraries wrong in flickr? I did.

Thing #3: Social Networking

YEA!! I came back today. Posted on Facebook, but forgot my password. Lisa recommended a few weeks back to sign into LinkedIn. I really like Linkedin. I have located with some past co-workers who I have not corresponded with in 27 years. I would use Linkedin. I do not think I will use Facebook as much. Thanks, Lisa for recommending that I join LinkedIn! I would not have found it on my own.

Thing 2 RSS

I started Thing #2 in February and resumed in April. However, by the time I resumed I had to reread my password notes and refresh my mind by looking at the blog again. By the time I was ready to post this blog, I needed help from Karen. I could not remember what I had been doing. After she explained it to me it became clear.

Now to complete the next 8 hopefully by the end of this week. Let's see how it goes. Since this is all fresh in my mind it should go smooth. I'll let you know tomorrow.
