Thhhhhhhhhhat's all, Folks!

Well, here it is, December 1, and I am posting my last blog entry. Once the blog was set up, I found the blogging itself fairly easy.
I enjoyed learning more about the origins of Wiki, and it is always fun to poke around YouTube.
The thing I will definitely use in the future is the NetLibrary EAudiobooks. I at least want to try downloading some and see how that process goes. I would also likely use image generators again.
If I was to do a course like this in the future, I think it would be very helpful to have groups working together. This way we could meet for a few hours per week and go through the exercises together. I think this would enable us to learn from each other as well, as there are some topics which are a struggle for some which might come easily for others. I really feel that this group learning experience would allow everyone to get the most out of the new information as possible.

eAudiobooks

I had looked very briefly at EAudiobooks before. This week's exercise gave me a legitimate reason to go back and dig a little deeper. I was surprised at how many titles I found that were of interest to me! I had to start making a list for future reference. I have never listened to a book before but I am definitely going to borrow my husband's MP3 player and give it a try. Not only did I find my all-time favourites, "Emma" and "Sense and Sensiblity", I also found newer mysteries as well as an Agatha Christie mystery that I actually had not read!
I would definitely use this in the future, and I feel more comfortable recommending it to patrons as well.
