WEEK 10 #23 THE END

At the beginning of this project I was unsure whether I wanted to participate, the reason being is that I am not computer savvy at all and was not sure if I would have time to work on the weekly exercises. Now I'm glad I did because everything I learned was useful and interesting. My favorite programs were Flickr and Zoho, I will be using those at home in the future. This project opened my eyes to a whole new world on the net, it was fun to see that the net is much more than just shopping and emails and it was specially nice to find that you can use all those sites for free! Hcpl is very up to date with Web 2.0 tools, like email messaging and the digital media catalog, downloading ebooks, movies and music, which is great for people that cannot physically go to the library. Overall, I enjoyed working on my blog it has been a very positive experience for me. Thanks!

WEEK 9 #22 DOWNLOADABLE MEDIA

I looked into Wowio,Librivox and Hcpl's digital site and found Hcpl's site more to my liking. I was very impresed to see we even have Spanish audio/video materials. I found a book called "Jerusalen-El Caballo de Troya 1" and a movie which I had seen about 30 years ago when I was a child still living in Mexico called "Cada oveja con su pareja". Hcpl's digital media site is very extensive and caters to even the most demanding, but what really amazed me, is to see it had foreign language materials. Great job!

WEEK 9 #21 PODCASTS

Aaaggghhh!!!I went to PodcastAlley and did a search on book reviews and public libraries it gave me 200 choices each. There are so many it was hard to decide on one that could actually talk about several of my interests but I did find one which is the one I posted.

WEEK 9 #20 YOU TUBE

I have to say I'm a huge fan of you tube and I just have to share this funny video. I tried to paste the video from you tube to my blog but was unsuccessful, so I just posted the link to it instead. I hope you all like it as much as I did....

WEEK 8 # 19 WEB-BASED APPS

I created an account with ZOHO writer and found it easy to use. I think it's great how you can do so many things from there instead of having to go to different places to do your jobs. I created this post from ZOHO Writer it's totally cool!!
