Betty Blogger 2011: Task #10: Summary

Betty Blogger 2011: Task #10: Summary

I think I would rate myself as a #5 or 6. I've learned what each of the features are but need to work with them and practice more before I can rate myself higher.

I was surprised by all the things available on the web that I didn't know about!

the most challenging part for me is finding the time to sit down and learn. I'm glad I could do it at my own pace and convenience.

I would, and already have, recommended this course to others.

Thanks for offering this to us!

Lesson #9 Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jbuis

I like this library thing. I haven't read much in the last few years, but am reading a book this summer finally! I love reading and used to have a list, pages long of all the book titles I have read. I'll use this library thing to keep track now. Hopefully my crazy life will allow me to continue having reading time!

Lesson #8 RSS feeds; Google Reader

I subscribed to the Burlington Public Library and Burlington Chamber of Commerce.

Task # 7 Wikis

I'll bring the Peach-Fruit Berry tart I was reffing to earlier in my Google Docs, so you can all be my 'guinea pigs'! :)


after I set up my PB Wiki account it didn't let me add a comment to the Picnic post right away...it first did a 'front page' thing, whatever that is???  after I did that then I was able to comment on the picnic page. Not sure what I did wrong there.


I'm going to try using this wiki thing with my family when planning our Christmas meal...should be interesting or possibly an exercise in frustration!  Time will tell!

Lesson #6 Google Docs

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TN6za1Dqa_d0IsGFMo2k_TbI66KZvytOCZN524xRbDc/edit?hl=en_US

Love this google docs!  Never knew about it, so thanks!

Task #5-Sharing with Picasa

Today I did a search of 'baby photography' on Picasa and I found a picture I thought was pretty cute.
It had many tags on it:

·         blue box photography

·         lacey childers

·         maternity

·         mcloud

·         ok

·         oklahoma

·         shawnee 
I like this Picasa program and have down loaded it onto my computer, so I will be using it in the future.

Task #4 - Social Networks

I made a twitter account a few years ago but I rarely use it. It doesn't feel 'meaty' enough with information for me to be bothered with. I also don't have data available on my phone.
Since I have my own photography business I figured I should have a presence on Twitter, but I don't really know how to use it to my advantage. I use Facebook more.

Task #3 - Tagging

Hi LL,
I like this Diigo tool!  I'm definitely going to continue using it after I've completed this course:)


I've bookmarked the following websites:

• http://www.diigo.com/user/jbuisman?domain=www.bpl.on.ca   Tags I used were: books, library, resource, Burlington
• http://www.diigo.com/user/jbuisman?domain=www.txn.banking.pcfinancial.ca   Tags I used were: PCF banking
• http://www.diigo.com/user/jbuisman?domain=www.schoolofimaging.ca   Tags I used were: photography Henrys image school  Also made a sticky note with course details I'm interested in.
• http://www.diigo.com/user/jbuisman?domain=www.reachbrandingclub.com  Tags I used were: personal branding

Task #2 - Streaming

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo
I`m at a conference in the States this week and learned about the book by Dr. Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow, columnist for the Wall Street Journal called ``The Last Lecture``.  I`m going to get his book because this  guy was amazing!!!!

Streaming has become so popular because it makes everything so current and accessible so quickly for free.  I love Youtube and have used it before and will continue to use it, when time permits.

Task #1 - Blog debut

o   On a scale of 1-10 I'd say my knowledge of Web2.0 is a number 2!

Looking forward to learning lots with Betty Blogger at the Burlington Public Library!!!
