-I think the bookmobile mashup was the best!

-Way to much fun.... and I have used this 2.0 technology for my church website, to add fun things to school newsletters and just for the fun of it!
Exercise 5
RSS Feeds a
-Not as many of my favorite link had RSS Feeds at this time, This might be a cool thing for our MCDL page...
Exercise 6
Podcasts a
-great fun to watch clips and recaps and spoilers or shows...
Downlading Audio Books Library on –Demand a
**Book Trailers..... We need to do an exercise on these! They are so fun!
Exercise 7
Wiki a
http://afterdark.knowitnow.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
-I work on a wiki for Knowitnow Afterdark resources... It is very cool, but you need time to keep up with it.
-I have also tried working on my own Readers Advisory Wiki (PB Wiki) It is a great idea, but the PB wiki changed and now there is a fee, and I was unable to access my previous work
Exercise 8
Exploring 2.0 Myspace/Facebook/gmaila
-I enjoy looking at myspace pages, I have had one for awhile, but do not keep up with it. I enjoy the links to music, youtube and other fun and off the wall surveys and silly stuff. I would love for us to have one for our Teens at Medina!
-Facebook, is also fun and I have enjoyed touching base with some old friends.
If you want to find a few Ohio Librarians to friend:
