Summary


  • I must say I learned so much that I would call myself a "web 2.guru", with still some resignation that I have a lot to learn.
  • Yes it met my expectations and more.
  • Yes she did but what happened to commentary on my blog after the 3rd posting...?????
  • No challenging parts.
  • Very good with the self directed learning model, but caution that if I was really new to computers I would have been lost...but you did have the walk in hours.
  • Most definitively would I recommend this course.
Thank you for a wonderful summer!

Task # 9

Hi!
This is my address to the library thing.

http://www.librarything.com/profile/mariabengtssonmay

This would be a great site for book clubs and reading groups.
I like the ease of finding books and get them rated.

Not sure if this is a site I would use in the future, but it was ok.

Task # 8

A little late on this one.  Too busy on other things.
I like the Google Reader very much and realized that there are many other things on the Google page I can see.  For sure I will use this and many other Google items.
I subscribed to the following news feeds:
dn.se (Swedish national newspaper)
cbc. ca
and RSS Flode (Swedish local paper)

I checked it out today and I like how it is so easy to access, instead of always going into the newspapers themselves.

Task # 7

I would bring my Swedish Meatballs, from my maternal grandmother's recipe book.  It is yummy.

It was easy because your instructions were very good. A few years ago, at teacher's college, I had to use Wiki so this was a very good refresher.

If I was working on a project with my fellow teachers at school, I would use this as a cool tool to communicate with all involved.

Here is my Google Doc: The Love for Cooking

Task # 5

I searched Canada on the search engine for Picasa.  I couldn't detect any tags that came with the picture but if there was I would think Whistler, Skiing, Inukshuk, Winter, Canada, would be some appropriate tags.
I have been aware of Picasa before but not gone into it and figured it out.  I will work more on it in the future and try to get my pictures organized in them.

Task # 4

I have always thought Twitter not to be very usefull and just another tool to keep track of.  But I realized after working with it, and following interesting people on it, it could be very useful.....to a point.
Again, social networking, do we really need it?  I have facebook and do not feel I need Twitter, but to be able to follow Peter Mansbridge and a few other people without posting on it myself I can see it as being an ok tool to work with.
