My Many Thoughts about Learn and Play

This program was very beneficial to my staff as well as myself. I have learned many new things. I, believe it or not, was able to get in contact with some extended family of mine with the use of FACEBOOK. Relationships have been renewed. I would say that TWITTER is the most used site. I am addicted to reading what is going on with the people I "follow" and I enjoy being "followed". I also enjoy getting daily news updates thru RSS feeds as well as TWITTER. I can see how using WIKI at work could be a useful way to get information out to staff. We, as a staff, have enjoyed ompleting Learn and Play together. I am (we are)so lucky to have such a fun job and to work for the number one library in the country. (and I'm not just saying that..)

**If I get chosen to win one the many wonderful prizes, please throw my entry back in and draw someone else. I would love to see some support staff person win and not "management".. I didn't need to be offered the possibility of a prize to participate. IT WAS FUN all on it's own.**

MOLDI

Wow.. 26 years ago when I first started working in libraries..microfilm was the new thing! Who would have thought it would come to this? EBooks.. I can totally see downloading a book to read. On Oprah, I learned about a device you can download your ebooks on and read. With the use of MOLDI, this would be a FREE option for me.

Podcasts

I did not find podfeed.net all that helpful..however, Podcastalley.com was cool! It started with the top 10 podcasts listed along the right hand side which peaked my interest. I did end up finding something useful. The top 10 Christmas present ideas which I downloaded to my Bloglines account pretty easily.

I Stumbled Upon it!

Wow.. I certainly got my "Playing" in today. I loved the tool Stumble Upon. I clicked on SmittenKitchen.com which led me to an old recipe of my husband polish ancestors that I have always wanted to master..Pierogi!! I think I will actually surprise him and try to make them for Christmas. ..in this process I also found a site called CookingforEngineers.com. Way cool.. complete with a list of great cookbooks for Christmas ideas. Oh, and did I mention that SmittenKitchen has a quick and dirty list of conversion charts for cooking.. YIPPIE! I'm lovin it.

Im Cooked..!!

I really enjoyed PLAYING with the 2.0 Award Winning sites.. Im Cooked was my favorite site. I got to watch someone make cabbage rolls. There many other sites I want to go back and explore when I have more time.
