virtual world

week 15

Well, I did look at some of the virtual games that were available, and they looked very interesting.  Battleground Europe and City of Heroes  were the ones I checked out.  I really don’t think this is anything that I would ever play, but I can see how it could be used to encourage teens into the Library. 

I know gaming is a huge thing with teens these days and we should all have some knowledge about how these games work.  I could also at some point in the future see the library using the virtual world to give tours to people from their own home.

I myself, found that I was more interested in the sudoku game online.

I love Santorini!

week 14

Well, I wasn’t expecting to like google docs, but I did.  I tried a spread sheet and found it very easy to use for page schedules.  I will certainly try using this next time.  I have always made up my own template for schedules, and haven’t used excel for this because excel is so difficult to use for this task.  There are far too many little boxes, but the spread sheet on google docs was fabulous.  I really liked the ease with which I could use it.  It was very user friendly.

week 12

Well, I have tried both, and must admit that the enet library was so much easier to load than the overdrive was for the first time.  My only complaint was that I had to try 5 or 6 titles before I found one available.  I don’t know if there is a browsing screen where you can just wander and look at titles, but I didn’t find it and that would have made it easier for me.  Overdrive does have a new titles area and I often look there first.

I would certainly use either one of these options, and once you have gone on initially, then it really is very simple in both formats.

week 12 – e-audio

I just want to say that this is finally something that I can do.  I have been putting books onto my mp3 player for about 2 years now, and I love it.  It makes the drive to work so much shorter when you’re listening to a book.  I don’t find it any more distracting than listening to the radio. 

Maybe this will give me enough confidence that I will be able to finish these assignments.
