# 2 Lifelong Learning

I have learne d much more about working with other. I have watched the tutorial for lifelong learning.I am probably the oldest person to do the 23 things and I have really learned more than I ever thought possible about technology and really enjoyed it.

#23 Finally Finished

What have I learned? I have learned things about computers that I never had tried to find, such as moving pictures around. There were days I was very confused and disheartened. But the days I enjoyed made up for everything. I really had to work this last month to get finished by the deadline. I watched Sarah's Video and enjoyed it very much. My favorite discovery was how we could share books with others by computer(Good reads). I really liked Flickr because it shows what all we can do with pictures. This assisted me in my learning. Yes this as been a good experience for me and i would like to participate if we did something like this again.

#17 Related to Wikki

Please refer to my blog on number 16 for information on the wikki link and what i learned about setting up a wikki account. This program was easiest than most to maneuver.

#18 Making a invitation using google document

Using the google document to make my invitation was not the easiest program, i feel for beginners they should use something along the lines of one of the programs that are already installed on the computer. For more advanced users this would work well.

#22 Netlibrary

The process is easy once you create an account because you have thousands of books you can access and listen to. For people who would rather listen than read this is the perfect site for you. Instead of carrying big bulky books around you are able to download books onto an mp3 player and take them where you go, even on vacation. Things that aren't allowed is downloading the books onto a ipod nor can you upload the books onto a different website or share them with anyone. A great thing about netlibrary is that it expands the normal library by enhancing it to include more and more titles for the public. Also a great thing about the netlibrary is that you don't have to wait for a book. Netlibrary provides easy access to books right through your computer.

#21 Podcasting

Podcasting is very different from just watching shows on TV or just watching movies online. With podcasting you subscribe to the site and then start downloading thing. You can download them to your ipod through itunes or to your mp3 player. One of the great benefits of podcasting is the ease that you can find information or podcasts you are looking for. There are so many different categories that you can browse until you find what you are looking for. I chose the gardening and found that I can listen to a lot of channels that gives gardening tips about flowers. I also searched for things that would be beneficial for libraries. You can get books about everything also. From poetry to great masterpieces to psychology self help books. Podcasting is relatively easy once you understand how to use the website and download your podcasts.

#16 Wiki in the library

Wiki is a tool that lets you access a tremendous amount of information from various different perspectives. One of the good things about the wiki website is that you are able to contribute to the website itself and add your knowledge to the page. However a major drawback that I see is reliability. A website where anyone can go on and change information or write information can be highly unreliable. The best way to use wiki would probably be only as a reference because being able to rely on the information is something that people shouldn't have to take a chance on. Also there is the chance that the people can go on the website and change the information you put on there. A lot of different colleges have developed their own wiki links so that you can access information that you might not have access to. This is very good for a library because if you are researching a hard project or just can't seem to find the right information, having access to so much information about books through their libraries will help greatly.
