face-to-face contact to achieve new heights
co-operating with others to learn new skills
not a computer in sight, just books
#23 Summary and my thoughts
#22 Audiobooks
The websites look interesting , but couldnt download any books as dont like to do that on works computers and wasnt a member. I havent listened to all of the stories in the library yet , havent got a mp3 player or laptop and dont fancy "reading my story" on a computer, it is kind of restricting.
Will utilise the websites eventually
next chapter is the last , bet you cant wait

#21 Podcasts
Have attached a link to some sites I am interested in. Feeling pretty pleased I remembered how to add a link, and will use this tool more at home.
Could be a useful tool for training and teaching - in remote communities .

#20 YouTube
the three little pigs , christmas version. Lots of fun on youtube. Took a long time to find something suitable. As with all internet related information, there is a lot of "rubbish" and it takes time to filter through to the worthwhile stuff. Could be very useful for watching instructional videos/clips , but am always aware of the "dangers" involved in "free to all" in uploading and viewing material. Found it quite easy to cut and paste someone's video into my blog. But can I claim it as my own ? - brings up lots of authorship issues.
Can see why parents, teachers and us in library land need to be aware of what is being looked at on the screen. Need more direction on what is not acceptable in a public place and what to do about it.
stay tuned for next episode
#19 Discovering web 2.0 tools
After having planned a trip to NZ and booked everything via the net, this website would have been handy as all elements of travel are in the one site and there are links to "real life" experiences to read.
Will keep playing and learning
stay tuned

What a great site , so useful for everyone to use. Now thats what new technology should be about. Something that benefits everyone, that everyone can use wherever they are. Great way of keeping your resume, documents up to date . Easy to share documents through email , without having to make sure the other person has the same wordprocessing package.
fantastic tool.
will be utilizing that tool , often

I am just getting a little bit overwhelmed by all this so-called "fun things to do " with webpages, blogs, etc . All these tools are great to use in a "professional and educational " capacity , but unfortunately I think that they are making it easy for morally corrupt people to fuel their warped sense of "fun" and invading other peoples lives.
Time to get back to some old-fashioned morals and values , the old way , by face-to-face social interaction , not in fromt of a computer screen.
Stay tuned , hopefully the next installment will be "fun"

Rss Feeds#8
Another tall tale has been penned. Good choice of feeding material, with a lot of cutting and gluing have quick access to my "special" cyberbooks, but who has the time to read them or check for updates. Ah , the wonders of technology. Its true they free up our hands from using pen and paper but they sure do test the grey matter and give us more grey hairs than we want. The joy of keeping up not only with the workings of cyberworld , but the deciphering of all the little bits of cyber knowledge that floats by us.stay tuned for the next installment

Another tall tale. When a new release book is in popular demand and you haven't quite finished it, and everyone is hasselling you for it, here is the perfect place to get away from the crowds. Also good for those really scary bits !!

stories
The first "tall tale" is - that I have understood everything that I have read here.
I am wondering whether to catalogue it as fantasy fiction, science fiction, humourous fiction , crime fiction or family saga. Or, there is the obvious - contemporary romance , because it is set in modern times and is enticing us to greater heights , so what does everyone else think?
Stay tuned for the next tall tale
