Genealogy

HI



I have been on hoilday so that is why it has taken me nearly 2 weeks to do this. I used the Geni site as it was alot easier to use and because of the warning about downloading the tree builder in My Heritage. I had a lot of fun doing it and found it easy to embed into my Blog. Doing this will help me alot as we get quite alot of patron's asking us about how and what sites to use for their family tree's .

NO 2 what I like about Web 2

All the 12 things look good but I am looking forward to the genealogy and Animoto sites the most, as we are always getting asked about our genealogy sites. The Litlovers will be good to especially the teens & childrens ones as parents are always asking us what is good or appropriate for there kids to be reading l

Week 9 No 22 Net Library

Give me the real thing anytime. I found it a bit limiting in the fiction area and more geared towards business and technology. I did like the amount of study guides it had on fiction which would be good for teens as these can be hard to come by in print form.

Week 9 No 21 Search Tools

I found this hard at first but got the hang of it in the end. I got my Library Podcast from

Google as yahoo did not have any with rss. Atlantic City Free Library podcast site is very well set out no hidden menus like Zoo writer. It is very user friendly

Week 9 No 23 My Thoughts

It has been a big tech learning curve, I have learnt heaps as you can tell by my username being newbe2this. One of the main things I enjoyed learning was how to down load images as we get asked how to do this all the time by patrons. It has given me more confidence in dealing with patrons computer problems. I am a little sad that it is coming to an end as I have really enjoyed it I will keep up with myspace and flickr.

No 20 You Tube

I love You Tube it is very user friendly This Clip is from a show that was on TV 2 called Balls of Steel where comedians would go show they had nerves of steel by playing pranks on the British public a bit like smile your on camera. We have one on one computer classes at my library what we call infoskills and little video clips on how to use the web site or catalogue or set up email would be great.

Week 8 no19 web 2 awards

I went into 3 of them on the short list

Flickr which came 1st in the Photos & Digital images category which I think is very deserving as I love it & could spend hrs looking at peoples favorite photo's. It is very user friendly

PeerTrainer came 1st in the Health Category which is mainly for people who want to find a health group to join or start one, but I liked Medstory better as that looks at all aspects of Health. You just have to type in a health problem and it tells you the symptoms to the medical treatment you can get to what to do to avoid getting it.

I did enjoy looking at some of the names of the health groups in PeerTrainer I clicked on S and there are groups from slim for Life to strong - minds and bodies, but the most interesting was Serene Succulent Sixties something to look forward to in my old age
