#23 THE END----FINALLY!!!!
Even though I waited till almost the last minute to finish my blog,I am so grateful that it is finally happening! One of the main reasons it took so long was that I didn't have a working computer at home and couldn't find the time or a free computer to do this at work. Actually--I didn't have any idea how to do half of these THINGS anyway. Well, I finally broke down & got the internet at home & even got to use my son's laptop. I worked on this thing for hours and lo and behold---I am almost done!!!
My kids have their MY SPACE--(I know! But I do monitor them), and some of the things that they put on there is so amazing!! BUT- when I asked for help, my son told me that this wasn't anything like his "my space" & he was completely confused. So---I did the majority of it all alone! Of course I got alot of help from Julie, to whom I will be eternally grateful!!! She can tell you that my biggest problem was remembering all my usernames & passwords! It was confusing for a while because I had to keep e-mailing for my password. But Julie was very patient & very supportive. THANKS, Julie!!
Of course my favorite part was YouTube!!! You can spend hours on that site. How I finally downloaded it on to my blog was a miracle!! I did like Flickr, but the first picture I put on my blog from there disappeared for some unknown rreason. It was a good one too!
I liked the image generator and if I had more time, I'm sure I can be more creative. That Smileyface was REALLY hard!!!!!
I have enjoyed reading other peoples blogs,too. I am so impressed with all the talent that we have at this library!!
Yes, I would try to do another exercise if you came up with one. I did find out how little I knew about the things that can be done on the computer. I have wasted so much time just playing games and bidding on e-bay!!! But now that I have the 7 1/2 habits (Thanks Louisa!)this has all changed!!!
Thank you for this opportunity! I hope that I have finished everything!!

#22 E-Books
I always knew we had e-books at the library, but I never thought I would be able to use this service. I have a hard time sitting in one place for the time it would take to read a book. I created another account, went to YPL eContent Collection. I was actually looking for fiction books, since I do not read any non-fiction except Cookbooks! That would be a good idea1--Putting cookbooks on e books! Anyway, I did finally find a few fiction books. I would rather read a real book myself or listen to the BOC's.
#21 PODCASTS
I used podcast.net for my search, using library as keyword. I found Thomas Ford Memorial Library teen Reviews. They are using podcasts for teen book reviews. i can see our library's TEEN EXTREME using this for their book reviews. I am sure it will prove to be very helpful.
#20 YOU TUBE
My son loves the Colts & Peyton Manning and of course, so do I. I found quite a few videos but I liked this one the most. This is such a wonderful video!
This was one of my favorite THINGS to do! I know I will be using this again!! I FINALLY figured this out and am confident about being able to do this.
