flickr et al

I created my Flickr account and posted some pictures. I made a funny caption on one of my cat pictures :) And, I made a fun picture with ComicStripGenerator. The Flickr mashup tool was much easier to use than the ComicStripGenerator one, but the ComicStripGenerator had more options.

Of course, the possibilities are endless for use in a library, either to spice things up, or to bring out the creative side of students in an academic setting. Too bad they are blocked by the filters.

Of filters and resources

Many of the 23 things are blocked by filters if one is in a school environment. This may adversely affect their practical applications in some libraries. (I'm just sayin'....)

thing 2

I read the articles. They were interesting. However, I did notice that they were not particularly recent (that is, from the last year or so). I watched the videos. They were also interesting. Yep, interesting.

Funny story--I have already forgotten and had to reset my password :) how tech-savvy is that ?!

My First Entry

Here I am, trying to learn a new thing at my age (!) and position in life (!!). So, I am a newly minted blogger. So, I am looking forward to learning some more new things so that when I grow up, I will be a real media specialist :)
