More Image Generators

Gee Whiz, you can certainly spend quite a bit of time playing with these tools. Now I know what to do if I find myself bored with nothing to do. LOL!

Big Huge Labs - Jigsaw

Image Generator - Thing 5

Image Chef - Wave
All of these creation tools are too fun. I will just have to remember how to find them when I want to use them.

Flickr- Thing 3 & 4

Flickr is a fun and interesting tool for photo sharing. It would be fairly easy to find any type of picture that was needed. I have never really used any type of photo sharing venue. I like to take my own photos, but I’m sure at times a photo would be needed that was not available in your own library of photos.

The flickr spell feature was fun, but I was not sure how to copy/save the whole word. When I copied it to my file it only did one letter at a time so I only did a couple of letters then gave up on that.

Captioning your photos could be useful for newsletters or websites. I could sit and do that for awhile.

Big Huge Labs looked fun and interesting but I would have to create yet another account, this time on Yahoo. Maybe I will sometime.

The photos are what I found when I entered the word Bouvier. Bouvier des Flandres is the breed of dog that we have. The bottom pic is the one that looks more like my dog. The other photo is of Jacqueline Bouvier aka Jackie Kennedy.

Library 2.0: Thing 2

As I look over the list of 23 items that we will be learning about, playing with and thinking of ways in which our libraries can stay relevant with using these technologies it is important that we, the librarians be aware and up to speed in using and implementing these technologies for our users. With new ways of teaching and learning being used for distance learners and letting users know about programs and other offerings.

As Stephen Abram suggested we need hands on involvement and to think and reflect on how this will be or can be used in each of our libraries.

We are attempting to make connections, collaborate with other libraries, keep up with our new generation of tech savvy users at the same time as educating but not scaring off our older users.
We will need to keep our box of tech tools open and ourselves be life long learners

First Blog

Well I am finally getting started. Hopefully, I can catch up and keep the pace. I had a little trouble getting started. I was never able to create an account from the getting starting link on the North Texas 23. I tryed from two different computers. I instead searched google gmail accounts and set up a gmail account then went back to the blogger.com link.

I am slightly on the technology challenged side, but am looking forward to learning more. I will be looking for ways to use this information both professionally and personally. I am also excited to see how others are using this information too.
