#13 Week 6

I have had a delicious account since shortly after the 2006 CSLA conference where I attended a session by Allison Steinberg about Web 2.0. I really like having access to my bookmarks from any computer. This, too, is an overwhelming amount of information to manage! I really liked The Several Habits of Wildly Successful Delicious Users - VERY useful information about using delicious in a nutshell.

I can see a huge potential for researching some current or cutting edge topics, but that is not on my radar at this point. I am working on my new role as Secretary for our School Site Council, and I did not find anything about site councils in delicious!

Time to review the CSLA Toolkit...

Week 5 Thing #12

I have clomped around several times at Rollyo and find it slow to return search results. It doesn't fit any of my immediate needs as my school is mainly focused on reading in the library program. I will inform our computer lab tech about Rollyo and send her a link to it.

For now, I need to be done with Rollyo and move on!

#11 (Week 5) Web 2.0 from awards list & Ning

I have looked through the awards lists a few times, several days in between, to discover that I had already looked at the things I thought might be interesting. YourMinis was a site I looked at twice but I had to go to wikipedia to find out what a widget is... so was not impressed. I took a quick look at Google Apps, but didn't see any uses for an elementary library run by a tech. So I decided I would re-visit my account with Delicious which I set up after last year's CSLA conference and a Web 2.0 session presented by Allison ? I think it would be very useful to have my bookmarks available from home and work computers, not that I have put it to much use :}

I signed up for Ning and joined Library Technicians United last week and Teacher Librarian Ning tonight. And my brain is feeling stretched to the max, so good night!
