Technology
Oh! what a wonderful thing it is when it works! I can talk to people all over the world, be more efficient at my work, create a new me through Gigmoz! Do my exercises online!! Who can ask for anything more. Well, except maybe hours, days, months, years to keep up with what's new and to actually learn how to use it properly. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing they say.
Flickr Color Pickr & Trading Cards
Hi Everyone
I had a lot of fun with this mashup as you could select a colour and be shown a variety of flickr photos which contained this colour (predominantly). It would be a great way of searching for a background for eg. a powerpoint demonstration where you needed a background of a particular colour to match your presentation.
I could also see that the Librarian Trading Cards mashup could be used in a variety of situations especially as a teaching tool for younger children where you could choose pictures of a certain group eg types of animals - amphibians and add a small definition, reptiles with definition. You would add a picture of each on your deck of trading cards - each child could add to the deck etc.

Last to get Spydus!
Hi Lorraine
Go0d for you .... on dragging me into this century. I'm a cadet blogger now. I don't know how much help I will be with Spydus...as WBIT will be one of the last Institutes to come online. Our training starts 29 January 2008 ... so maybe you will be able to be my mentor this time. I feel a little like you...I always deal with issues as they arise. I don't assume there will be any obstacles.
My counterpart at the Cooloola Public Library does not like Spydus for serials. She much preferred Libero. Ugh! She was very generous in telling me to ring her anytime if I needed assistance. No doubt about "library networks", eh! Always help when you need it!
Will be off the air from September 20 ... LSL calls. But I will certainly take advantage of TAFE SERIAL CENTRAL when I return.
Cheers
Cherie
