Thing 19

I am not able to make a book trailer. My work computer is hooked up to a countywide system. Windows Movie maker was disabled by the system. So I cannot access it. I did look at many of the trailers on the various websites. I also talked to one of our interns who talked me through the steps of how I could make a trailer on my own if I needed to. I have a scanner now and I have used windows movie maker at home. So, I feel pretty confident that I could make one if need be. I hope that is satisfactory.

Here is a youtube video made at our library by some local students.

webinar

I participated in a webinar for Parent Place. It was really cool to be able to talk to people across the country. We also had assignments to complete. It was great to be able to do them at our own pace, when we had the time.

podcast

I found a podcast about parenting your teens. Since I have 2, I found that interesting. it was easy to subscribe and add it to my google reader.

thing 15

I use IMing on face book. I have also used AOL before. I did not know about Meebo. Honestly i am happy with facebook IM for right now.

Gruel and Unusual Punishment by Tamar Myers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I like reading cozies. They are fun light mysteries. I enjoy the main character. Magdelina is spunky and smart. She can be a little scatter- brained at times but funny.

I have 2 teenagers at home. So, I got introduced to face book through them. I have an account and now I can keep an eye on them. We also have an account here at the library. We use it to advertise and send out invitations to events. Penny has used it to advertise our Concerts in the Park series. We have people from other states coming to our events because they saw it on facebook and twitter. Pretty cool!

Not only is this a lot of fun. But I can think of some fun ways to use this. What kid can't relate to lego people!?!

Wow! We have firefox on our work computers. I usually use Windows internet explorer as my default because I did not know much about firefox. Now that I know... I will definately have to check it out!
