#23 (Week 9) Is this really the end? or just the beginning....

I am doing last post hoo!hoo! It was a great learning experience. I learned a lot. I was not familiar with many things before. It had a wonderful journey through RSS, Flickrs, Technorati, Podcasts, Ebooks, Rollyo, Library thing and enjoyed to learn the new things everytime. I am quite happy after web 2.0 training I can help customers on computers better When Customer will come and ask about these things, I can share my knowledge with customers how they can be benefitted from different options on net.

Web 2.0 training also helped people to think about how I got motivated to help people after learning so much.

#22 (Week 9) Ebooks (aka the end is in sight...)

I looked at Project.gutenberg free source of ebooks. It is most used library as you can found all the books in one library. It gives you option of different ways of download and gives us ideas of latest books what other people are reading on particular subject. If we don't want to download we can go offline catalogue and can use other software. It gives option for faster download if we choose location worldwide closer to where you are. So there are plenty of different methods of download. We can access latest books faster as compared to printed one.

I tried to read William shakespeare's youth drama Romeo and Juliet. It does gives option for different ways of download but for me I always prefer printed version than reading on screen.

Week 9 Podcasts (You don't need an ipod!)

I looked at podcasts directory and found that you don't need any mp3 player or ipod to listen the music when you can do through podcasts. All you need is a PC. Podcasts is like an audio blog. When you are doing household work you can listen them. searched through podcastalley.com

I chose Education Genre and subscribe to my blogsline account this link

In the libraries podcasts can be used during storytime for children and when we organise adult literacy sessions for speakers of other language it can be very helpful when two languages can be heard with exact pronunciation.

Discover Youtube......

Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

From the seomoz. shortlist, I decided to choose Questions and Advice. I found it very helpful as with it we can share knowledge, help others and save money as well.
Since everything is online thesedays. We can get answers and advice on every topic. Once you go to ask something in concern to everyday life as well, You can click on ask question and it only ask you ID, Which we have or can make one. It will be quite helpful in our library system as library is a place where we get customers asking all type of questions. We can link with our library site and probably will be a great help for customers.

# 18 Week 8 Zoho

I found zoho writer great and interesting. I created my account with Zoho and I tried to access it it was closing saying microsoft has encountered a problem on other day. But When I tried it today it worked very well. We can create our document and save it online, can also edit it offline and can see changes when we go online again. Instead of emailing people we can share document with people and can add people who want to read only and others who can edit it. We can publish that document in our blog or can make it public as well and that's what I did.
