Wrap up

i have really enjoyed this course. i have learnt to put some of my skills into practice, such as blogging. i have learnt blogging before but had not used it to this extent nor had i added so many different types of media (pictures, video, Feeds). i really enjoyed exploring the different websites we were directed to and i have even put some in my favorites that i think will definately come in handy.

Social Networks

I had never thought of using social networks such as facebook for business purposes. i am amazed at the way libraries are able to use all the technologies we have explored. Promotion, communication, sharing information, pictures and audio.

Online applications and tools

I knew that there were free applications for creating documents available on the internet however i didnt know about these ones and i didnt know that they worked so well. they are great i love the idea of more than one person being able to colaborate on the doccuments.

Mashups

i use google maps alot. i really enjoyed playing with Big Huge labs, this is a great tool to help create promotional material alter images and add information to images.

Podcasts and Audio

Podcasts are a great way to interact and disseminate information to people with visual difficulties. i subscribe to podcasts and use them to keep up to date with information from musical instrument suppliers. in libraries podcasts could be used to give examples from new audio books.
