Today worked on creating photo presentation of my last holiday using google docs presentation feature. It was awesome. I could not believe how easy it was to import photos and other features from web pages into the presentation.
I am going to be using google docs more frequently for sure.

posted a google docs document to administrator
Had an opportunity to post a google docs document to administrator. I noticed that it was possible to do a slide presentation also in google docs which is great. I will endeavor to create a presentation of my photos from the last holiday I went on.

Feedback on the course
I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Looking forward to using many of the aspects of the course to improve my library skills.
Also some of the programmes in the course give me the opportunity to contribute to discussions and become more active in exchanging ideas with other people in the same industry as myself.
Would recommend course to anyone who would like to learn more about computing IT learning.

Possible benefits of social networking is receiving feedback from patrons on things like service provided and possible improvements.
It would give staff the availability to post regularly about promotions or events that will be held and the success of certain events.
Social networking also allows library members to exchange ideas about many different aspects of library work and perhaps improve skills in the process.

zoho writer compared to google docs
Had a look at zoho writer. I think I prefer google docs.
The screen looks more like a microsoft word screen which is what I am used to.
More info about it when a get a reply

online applications
Sent a google docs letter to my colleague and seeing if it will be updated.
He has been a little slack in editing it so I will try sending a google doc
to my other account and try editing it.

Mashups
Had an opportunity to look at Mashups
Created a map highlighting the places I visited in Big Huge Maps and imported image into my Blog.
Investigated google maps and observed how powerful the tool is in highlighting points in the city
You can use google maps to pinpoint the branches of the libraries.

Enjoyed listening and adding podcasts.
A wonderful way to get ideas across the internet.
It is a good way of teaching.

Our library could use podcasts to inform patrons about promotions the library could be running.
It could broadcast childrens stories read by staff members

Answer boards and social searching
I think there is a place for our librarians to become involved in slamming the boards once a month.
It would allow our staff to brush up on their research skills and build up the libraries profile.
I think it would be great giving patrons the option on commenting on items they have read on a
library blog. It might encourage other library readers to pick up a book based on reading a review
on a our library blog.

tagging, del.icio.us, library thing and others
tagging, del.icio.us, library thing are great websites.
They can be used to keep track of up to date events by our own libraries.
Also we can view as librarians about resources that may be available for purchase
and keeping in touch with developments in our library related fields.
Enjoyable

video online completed
Finished Video online and Youtube.
Great. Amazing what is available.
Preferred Youtube to Google video. The video seemed to be able to download quicker.
However I did find that google video was able to show longer videos

More on Wiki
Some of the things that Wiki could be used for in libraries are the reviews on new books being
published or updates on authors.
New developments in the IT field would keep librarians informed through a industry specific wiki website.

RSS
Looking at the RSS feeds was quite fascinating.
Interesting to see how the feeds are sent through my Bloglines website once I had subscribed
to it.
I was able to subscribe to get regular feeds from the Powerhouse Museum photos, ABS stats
amongst others.

Wiki feeds
Have been familiar with Wiki for quite a while now. Like using it for information since it
is downloaded quickly with little advertising. The information is pretty current as well.
I found it interesting to find the different interfaces used in different organisational wiki sites.
