Task 16 Where's wiki ?

In the past, it's a gigantic task to put something on the web without knowledge of the html thingy as well as bureaucratic procedures as to what should or should not be in the dedicated official site. Now, it's fair go for anyone who feels compelled enough to put up a site to serve a target audience. Thinking of the brave souls who are trying on a major exams,eg. VCE, in order for a better life but are struggling with the resources to help them achieve that end. Thinking of using wikis for homework help, like those used in the subject guides.

Task 15 In the Web

Web 2.0 is inevitable. Libraries is seen as at the fore-front of knowledge and technology. Thanks to this program, Learning 2.0, that we get ushered (whether whisked or dragged) into where others have already entered. We need to cater to a wide range of customers and there may be some that already asking in this area and we better know the raod signs to navigate in the second life.

Task 14 Oh-so-technical Technorati

Using "learning 2.0" under advanced search to look for blog posts yields 7019 results.
'Tag Search' yields 659 results and 'Blog Directory' yields 685 results.
Technorati- another opportunity for networking, sourcing of like-minded or opposite-minded people and their thoughts/ideas.
"Apologetics" yielded 3975 results and was glad to have found what I would not be able to find doing a google search.

On Technorati, surprise, surprise, the top blogs, top searches and top "favorited" (first time seeing this form of favour (root): favoured, adjective as verb?) blogs are mostly about computer technicalities. Mmm..not my cup of tea at the moment.

Task 13 Del-icio-us

Wonderful to be able to carry your favourites wherever you go. See the potential of a teacher/lecturer or librarian using this to access commonly used websites that help in his/her work to answer reference queries.
Not as user-friendly as Rollyo. Appears to need greater computer sophistication to make use of.

Task 12 Rolling on..

Innovated (hesitant to use the word 'create' as it connotes making something out of nothing, which I haven't) search roll "dayspring". I volunteer-teach CRE and so is constantly on the look-out for teaching materials each week. Rollyo is definitely v useful.

Task 11

Library thing is good as a record of books that you have enjoyed or wished you have read.

Looks like it is a HUGE connecting tool to like-minded people - look at the groups out there!

Task 10 Image consciousness

Used LetterJames for the above. Long before the giant word Eternity sparkled with splendor as it was emblazoned across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it was first written by the hand of one man.

This one-word message was written over 500,000 times on the footpaths of its suburbs and beyond in beautiful copperplate style. Wherever this word appeared it mystified some and fascinated others. The mystery was, "who wrote it?"

When the mystery man was finally discovered the Sydney press nicknamed him Mr Eternity, but his real name was Arthur Stace.



The ribbon generator is easy to use. So is the "doppelme" thingy to innovate my avatar. Step-by-step guides are welcoming to the frazzled soul.
Watched Matrix again and was intrigued at the layers one can 'peel' off from that movie to uncover the meanings 'this' world, 'that' world and 'the other' world one can have existence in?! Has no connection to my avatar out there but will see....
