Thing 22 Staying Current

The first thing I am going to do is unsubscribe to some of my RSS feeds and re evaluate which ones are most beneficial. I way over did RSS. I really like the suggestions on the LibrarianInBlack.net site. That Powerpoint gave many good suggestions for keeping up without getting overwhelmed.

Thing 21

Thing 20 Book 2.0

I really like BooksVideo.tv.  I watched the demo on the book about Columbine HS.  That would be a neat thing to do with high school kids regarding the books they like.  Sort of like a movie trailer.  We talked about that,  but haven't done it yet.  Maybe that is a project we can get finished  before the end of the year and use BooksVideo.tv to show the kids the format.

Thing 19 Flixter &

I had never heard of Flixter or Film Crave.  They were both interesting.  I don't watch movies very often so I never had searched for a site like those.  I'll remember those if I am ever in the mood to watch a movie.  I liked the Top Movies of the Year option.

Thing 19 Classroom 2.0

The main classroom 2.0 ning is really good for my other job of instructional technology in the schools.  There is a lot of useful educational information on that site.

Thing 19 Nings Other Social Net

I am a member of numerous Nings and have created many.  Right now we have three regional Nings for the Florida Association for Media in Education that I have set up after FAME regional meetings around the state. We use a Ning internally for our school library media specialists and aides and it is a great way to share information.  I really like the Ning interface even more than Facebook.

Thing 18 Facebook

I love Facebook and have been a member since the fall.  Everyone in our office joined for professional and personal reasons.  I enjoy keeping up with my children that don't live at home. I also have enjoyed seeing old friends show up on Facebook every week.  I didn't realize there was an ALA group.  I joined the Library 2.0 group and did enjoy a video on their site called Reflections of Digital Scholarship and someone from West Florida created the video.  I don't like the recent changes in the interface of Facebook but from what I am reading it will probably change due to complaints.
