Once again I really enjoyed the Web2. I found the genealogy sites really great and these would be useful to customers. The very easy way to set up a family tree would be particularly appealing to customers. When I've got more time, I'd like to go back to that.
The kids in the library would love Go Animate. I found it a bit frustrating and a bit of a time-waster for me, but probably because it's not really something I would get into.
Thanks to the Web team once again.

Week 5 - Social sites
Well had a look at Reddit and others. Read a story about a museum dinosaur interacting with kids. Thought there's a lot of info that really isn't of interest to me on these sites, although I'm a big Facebook user, which I got into with the first Web2. Joined up Newsvine as that's really more of interest with more factual information. Read a couple of stories on Newsvine about Hilary Clinton in Israel and another article about Obama.

So frustrating!

Well wouldn't say this was me! Took me ages to figure out how to add voices, etc. Lots of playing around with very little success, but our young kids in the library would love it. Now going back into it, realise it hasn't even worked properly, but will have to do for now. I get the basics.

This was great. I never thought I'd be able to create a video. Did the easier option with using the Animoto pictures and music, but at some point, would like to be more creative and use my own resources. Great for libraries, in that we could do promotional vids and post on sites such as Facebook.

Some really great interviews with librarians on this site. Questions you can answer re book groups you hold in the library and great ideas. Good site for bookgroup lovers.

Well Widget bit didn't work, so will have to try again, but for now this is my Book Jetty link. Had a bit of fun with this week's exercises. Would definitely show really keen readers, but it is a bit time consuming. Enjoyed looking at numbers of people reading the same books and reviews.
