#23 Summary

This program was a learning process; in which I learned about RSS feeds, Wikis, Flickr and so much more. I really believe it will be helpful as I continue on with this internship and help me become familiar with Web 2.0. It was very interesting to learn this information and to do the discoveries.

#21 Podcast

Podcast was useful but wasn't all that interesting to me... I think it would be something to work with on time of leisure or search though.

This young artist is someone who I grew up with from elementary school who in high school we enjoyed to watch him perform. He's a very talented singer.

#19 Awards List

I would say I would have to go with Arcaplay which I found interesting because I love to play computer games when I am bored or have nothing to do. This website was cool because it highlighted the lastest games, and gave you the rating of some of the games which helped you better decide whether you would like to play that game or not.

#18 Zoho Writer

Zoho Writer is just as easy to use as any other word processing document I have used before, just as interesting as the rest.

# 17 Maryland Libraries Sandbox

editing the page in the sandbox was easy so I want to invite you all to my favorite place to visit which is : http://ebeezie.tripod.com.

#16 Wikis

Wikis are interesting and very cool to work with. You can add on your knowledge on a particular subject or you can be edited by a someone else (which is always not just as long as it is the correct information).

#15 Librarian 2.0 and Web 2.0

These two creations are heavily designed to improve the library world, they will allow for users to be satisfied and allow the library providers know exactly what the users want. Its interesting how the world keeps advancing itself today.

Now thats what I call funny... I clicked on the Animator vs. Animation bookmark by alanbecker; and this was hilarious. I truly agree with the people who left reviews on it, it was hilarious animation on screen.

#8 RSS Feeds

It was a pretty cool thing to do, because once you subscribed you were instantly hit with different feeds.http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs

#7 Technology-related blog

The world of computers... computers are everywhere nowadays; they are in schools, large businesses, small business, churches, restaurants(formal/informal)....bottom line-- they are here to stay. Technology has advanced so much to date but what would we do if the computers just stopped. Aww man we would be in a world of trouble because everything we do revolves around computers. That's why we need technicians and experts nowadays to keep our businesses running. How easy is it? Well some come right to your door while others are just a phone call away... so if your looking for a field of work; I would recommend computers they are what the we are using to carry out our businesses today.

#6 Flickr Services

Out of the Flickr Services I've viewed I found retrievr to be the most interesting because once you select a color it starts to give you pictures with that particular somewhere in it; it could be the background, the product or just anything that color in the picture. The pictures that are displayed are amazing.

#5 Flickr

Flickr has some interesting options, for instance I clicked on Flickr Services and clicked on the popular tags and came to a page that allowed me to click on words, which then allowed me to see pictures. This was a pretty cool website and the pictures provided were really interesting.

The easiest and hardest habits for me

Out of the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners; i found that habit 2 is the easiest for me. I find it pretty easy to accept responsibility for my own learning..... I am very hard on myself when it comes to keeping up with my education; I push myself to only getting A's or B's or making sure that I accomplish my goals. Now on the otherhand the habit that I find hard is habit 5, I tend to have a hard time creating my own tool box but once I am introduced to new items that I find useful I hold on to it.
