More on YouTube

The first video I ever watched on YouTube was Spiders On Drugs and I still find it really funny. Didn't think that was exactly appropriate for posting, but if you haven't seen it, give it a look-see. I think YouTube is pretty neat and I see library applications for creating many customer service training videos to supplement our STARS program.

Thing 20: YouTube

Here is the "Official" Thing 19 from Yourminis.com

Does This Count for Thing 19?

Thing 18: Life Is a Beach at Zoho.com

Life is a Beach, or Are We Having Fun Yet?

That is the question I've been asking myself as I work my way through these lessons. Remember that my most difficult habit from Thing 2 was having fun (as a learning habit, that is.) I must admit that I didn't start out having much fun with this project, but I am now--at least I was before I began using this WP application. I thought I understood Zoho, and I love, love, love the toolbar, but I can't insert a picture into this document and it is making me crazy!!! So right now I am wishing I was at the beach, as I try to save this blasted document one more time! Hey, this time it worked!! Go figure!! Anyway, here I was at one of my favorite beaches a couple of months ago.

This document was created on Zoho Writer, thus Thing 18 has now been accomplished!

Thing 17: Playing in the Sandbox

Create PBWiki Account. Log on to PLCMC Learning 2.0 Wiki. Add D.I.B Blog to Favorite Blogs under the YMCPL wikis. Add a favorite to another category (how about Favorite Music? how about Annie Lennox's Songs of Mass Destruction?)

DONE!!!!

Thing 16: Wikimania

Had some familiarity with wikis from the Wick Avenue Wiki and the PLYMC Database Wiki. I think this is an important L2.0 application for our library--especially after spending some time with Library Success There are three other library related wikis that I thought were rather good--Library 2.0 in 15 minutes a day, LibraryInstruction.Com and Library Technology Training Wiki and will spend more time with them post Thing 23. As for possible applications to our work, I'd like the IS Department to try developing a wiki for our Internet Links and some subject pathfinders for our patrons; I'd like to develop a STARS Trainers Wiki for us to collaborate on role-playing scenarios and scripts, and I'd like the STARS Trainers to create a STARS Customer Service Wiki to be integrated into a L2.0 approach to YPL's customer service program that takes advantage of podcasts, videocasts, blogs, etc. But first I have to finish my things! Aloha, wikis, for now!
