Week # 4 - Yes, he made it on top of the bed.

Yes, that's the doggy, where he is not suppose to be...

The Web 2.0 video was fantastic!

This week is full of enjoyable reading. I have learned a lot of new things and there sure is a lot of new websites that I have never even heard of. There is a lot of information out there and I am amazed by the creativity and talent. It is all about sharing your ideas and trying out new things.

Back in the day, we use to create things with pen and paper. We would be creative in making our toys to play with, or playing make believe house, whatever the case may be. Today it’s computers: toy ones and real ones... All kinds of gadgets for kids and children to play with. What happened to hopscotch, jump rope and ordinary board games. Today you can’t register for a class unless you have a lap top. What a hoot!

I believe people enjoy coming to the Library, especially to ours, here in Orlando, Florida where the Library is Innovative, Fun, Interactive and most of all the people are friendly.

No, I was not at all surprised to see us on MySpace and YouTube. That's us, we are right up there with all of the latest and greatest technology. It is a great place to be!

On a side note, Three cheers to the Podcaster, what a great job once again!

Well, until next time. Keep those lessons coming!

Yahoo Pipes

Well, I finally accomplished Yahoo Pipes! After my fourth try, wow! I haven't mastered it yet but I was happy to see some kind of results from all of my hard work. So, everyone reading this, must keep on trying. If I can do it, anyone can.

Here is my link:

Week # 3

Welcome to OCLS Learn 2.0 - Week #3

In doing my research for week # 3's project, I've learned how to create an RSS feed using Bloglines. There is sooooo... much information to absorb, but in creating this and doing hands on, you can learn from your mistakes and then move on. It has been an enjoyable experience for me so far.

These were some of the guidelines we followed:

What is your learning style preference?
My learning styles are primarily Kinesthetic, but I am also a visual learner.

Is Learn 2.0 working with or against your learning preferences?
Learn 2.0 is perfect for me and I am enjoying the process.

Did Grokker's grouping of search results help you? Yes, I liked using Grokker because it hits the topics and groups them for you. I especially enjoyed the map feature. It also allows you to pinpoint your area rather quickly. It's different from a Google search in that you don't have to search very hard to find a topic and get lost in the process.

I enjoyed searching my topic in Grokker. I can't believe I have never heard of this search engine before. The map view is a great tool.

What sites did you select for your RSS reader?

I selected the following for my RSS feeds:

Look Mommy!

Shotsie got a haircut by a groomer yesterday. It's a groomer on wheels. I have never heard of that before. I guess anything goes down here in the south. He sure is turning silver fast. Look at the pretty blue bows in his hair, that didn't last too long.

How adoreable!

Bringing home my new "Puppy"

Introducing my nine week old puppy. How cute he is... He is so small and huggable at this age. His name is Shotsie.

Shotsie has been with us since December and has brought alot of laughter into our home. He is so fun to watch and train. Training has been an ongoing battle and we have been taking one day at a time. He sure is a handful. He also wants all eyes on him and loves the attention.
