YouTube

Now this was fun! It reminded me of why I will never go zip-lining again. I tried this on St. Lucia last year - big mistake. While the height troubled me not at all the speed was terrifying. I think I'll save this for a time when someone might suggest a repeat elsewhere. Do look it up...

From the video uploaded I wnet to same user and was taken to pictures of 'Christopher and Sylvia's wedding, nice but hardly interesting to one who was not there.

Then for a more useful, and work-related site, I visited YouTube EDU and the Law Library's site. The wall gave a good rolling update and I found helpful directions for getting there and other useful information. I can see how this can usefully inform new users and staff while also providing up to date information.

Berkeley University's video of Bill Clinton's speech on Global Citizenship demonstrated another use of YouTube from an educational perspective. Until now I had not realised the potential for learning of YouTube so well done 23 Things.

Podcasts.

Podcasts were not new to me - about the only thing that is not! Now I've dropped a couple into my Google Reader - that's new!

I've used them previously for BBC Radio Four programmes such as Desert Island Discs. I'd missed Sunday's episode with Emma Thompson so it was good to catch up. After a hilarious edition of Just a Minute I moved on to Gems of the Bodleian Library - interesting but not so much fun.

Delicious again...

Added publications for the Education Library to my network. This will be useful for checking we have all publications we are entitled to under LD. I'm not sure I'll use Delicious much though as I'm wedded to my favourites list.

Social networks Delicious

Task accomplished but I'm not sure how useful this will be. Perhaps when the laptop arrives and I'm en route to Edinburgh it will come into its own.

Picnik

Hi All,

Very excited! Flickr and Picnik gave me hours of fun - well I might be exaggerating! But, I was able to change pink lillies to orange and take the shots through a dawn to dusk day with shadows and contrasts. Now for the BBC and my new career...



Just for show...

Catching up

Well I'm catching up at last. I've got my RSS feeds and my Flickr account and I'm waiting to join the Flickr group.

I've seen some wonderful shots from you so I feel duty bound to go out with camera now. Watch this space...

Holidays, 23 things and work don't mix!

Hi All,

Back at last and way behind with my 23 things. A two day holiday seems to = many emails and much to catch up with so the 23 tings had to go. However, at home on a cloudy Saturday and all is coming together. So, hopefully, I'll see some of you at the drop-in session on Wednesday.

Bye for now,
Jackie.
