Summary

#1.I would rate myself a 7. Actually I need to refresh my memory on all that was done and browse through it all over again. That would probably raise my rating to an 8.

#2.Oh yes it did. Actually when I signed on I was wondering whether I had taken on more than I could handle.(I had rated my knowledge of Web2.0 pretty low) So the course did a lot to remove self doubts.

#3.Its been a wonderful experience working with the Library Lady.Yes she was as helpful as I had thought she would be.

#4.What I found challenging was to figure out why a particular application was needed and of what use it would be to me.For this I spent a couple of days browsing and trying to figure it out and then did the task. Also my personal challenge was resisting asking my kids for help(they seem to have an inbuilt knowledge about all this)I was pretty determined to figure out everything on my own and I am glad to say I stuck to my decision even tho it took a longer time to complete each task.

#5.I like working at my own pace so I liked it.

#6.Already have and there are alot of people waiting for your next program.

Cataloguing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/PritiMehta (library)

This was very easy to use.(with your instructions most things were)Thanks for introducing me to LibraryThing. I am going to be using this one the most of all .I love reading but like alot of people I have difficulty recalling the names of authors and their books later. So very often I find myself standing in the middle of the library praying for Divine Intervention when trying to remember an authors name. Well now things are going to be easier with LibraryThing. I am going to start cataloguing immediately all that I have read and liked.

RSS Feeds

Thanks for introducing me to Google Reader.As usual I lost track of the time and after a few hours of browsing I decided to subscribe to 4 feeds (more will probably follow later...Well that answers your question of whether I will use this again).It was easy to use.

The feeds I subscribed to are

Parenting.com

Just Breathe

Cake Baker Update

Less than a shoestring

Wikis

I will be bringing Hummus and Pita Bread to our class picnic.My PBWorks experience was good.It was easy to use but I dont have the need for my own Wiki right now.

The tags on the photograph I sent you were Vertical,panorama,tree and forest.

I liked going through Picasa and a whole lot of the images are wonderful but I dont see myself using this too much.Maybe I will spend some more time browsing and see if I have any use for this. I certainly will not be putting up any pictures of my family and friends but yes general photos I dont mind sharing.

Social Networks

I have been on Facebook for the last one and a half years and I really enjoy it.I have connected with so many friends with whom I had lost touch.We keep in touch regularly and it lets you know what they and their families are up to.

The one thing that really concerns me is how people reveal minute details about their families and their lives and are so careless about their privacy settings that everything is there for all and sundry to see.

I am not too worried about this for myself because I have privacy settings allowing only friends to see my profile.I communicate any private information via inbox messages to my friends and they do so likewise.

I am a permanent fixture on facebook .I love it!

Task #3

Hi

I bookmarked Facebook, Gmail and Chefinyou and the tags I added are Friends, mail,recipes cooking food respectively.

It took me a while to understand this task but now that I have I think I will use be using Diggo from now on.

Hi Library Lady

I had a great time on YouTube,lost track of time and almost forgot why I was there.I will definitely use it again .I can see why its so popular...Instant entertainment at the click of a mouse-- just how everyone wants it these days.Its amusing ,educational or just plain funny depending on what you want to watch.I think I am going to be more aware of what I see otherwise I see myself wasting alot of time just browsing.

Hi

This is my very first post and there is really not much to say.My knowledge on Web 2.0 on a scale of 1 to 10 is probably 1 .And I give myself the 1 because of Facebook .Been there for a year now and pretty active on it too. I dont know much about the rest so cant give myself any credits on them .I guess as I keep completing my tasks I will have much more to say.
