Wrappin it up

I didn't care for Liveplasma all that much, I see how it can be helpful, but I guess I'm not a visual learner ie back to Grokker assignment. I loved the Library Musical and wish that me and my fellow thespians had thought of that in college. I did really enjoy this course, I certainly learned a lot and realize there's a lot more out there for me to explore. Sorry this is so short and rushed but I want to have completed the couse to get that MP3.

(This is where you hear the music from Dire Straits)
I want my....I want my...I want my MP3

and nobody better steal that idea for staff day
Week 6 I had confused with 7, and in week 6 I enjoyed the "What should I read Next" application, which I've shown to patron and used to help me find titles for a display on animal fiction that I was assigned. I also dug the Book Mooch one because I love to recycle.

I had to return to week 8's assignment because I didn't tag my photo, then I forgot my password ('cause you're not supposed to write it down) I so I had to basically re-do part of the assignment. Ugh. Basically, I like the online learning, how convenient and I did get some help from friends. Very patient friends I might add. I also shared what I learned with others who were new to all of this as well, and I think it helped us to work more as a team. I didn't go out to other branches though, I didn't think to. I only wish I had had more time still to really play in the applications more, but that's why people have home computers. I'm one of the few that still doesn't own a computer, or a cell phone, and I don't have cable. Hard to belive but true. Anywho...Week 9 was impressive. Emily Wallace is very talented!! The whole Digital Rights Debate....I'm on the fence. Of course I don't want to have to pay to download items for my honest to goodness own personal use. However, I can completely understand why the artists don't want, and can't afford their stuff to taken for free or worse yet, see their art be used by others to make a profit. I know there's a better way to say that, but I think you know what I mean.
