Quest 12

The advertisement was great! I thought it was a wonderful way to end the Trek. There is nothing wrong with advertisement as long as it's done in good taste. It is the same as the big Antonio Banderas poster we have hanging on the wall that encourages reading - guess I like a room with a view. It looks like we're coming to end - looking forward to the next generation!

News at 11

I was so happy to see my blog fly from Zoho to Blogger. That little square was supposed to be changing the background color to a pale yellow. Guess you just have to use your imagination until I figure out how to make that work. oh well - Pat's Learning! On the Quest 12

Quest 11


Hi - I'm playing with Zoho Writer. Let's see if I can get this document to my blog page. First l'll try to dress it upcool (isn't he cool!) I can make a rainbow !!

If you are reading this - I did it! Yeah!

Quest 9 What a wiki

The wiki quest left me laughing.

I love wiki's - they offer a wealth of information and are a great way to brain storm. Some wiki's offer "cite the source" so by checking those sources - you can find out if the information is reliable or not. If nothing else - they sure give you food for thought.
Check out the Bull Run Library wiki - The link to the ultimate definition of a librarian. That left me laughing out loud - It makes you want to visit that library if you get the chance. It must really be a great place to work. Maybe, it would be a good thing to add a little humor to our web site so we can leave people with a smile on their face.

Quest 8

The Trek to social networking was really helpful. MySpace is popular in McClellanville. I added one of my Flickr photos to my profile. I used MySpace this summer to keep in touch with our teens. They loved the connection. I enjoyed the blogs on Safety Tips Online, Safety Tips for Teens and Tweens, Building a Social Networking Environment at the Library and Libraries Use MySpace to Attract Teens. They were all good. My favorite tip was "You can't take it back". Once you post information on line, you can't take it back. Even if you delete the information, someone, somewhere, may have an older computer where the information is stored. We do need to be careful what we put on "The World's Biggest Billboard". No Regrets.
I'm waiting for Tech Trek 2.0 to accept me as a friend. Have a good day!

- I'm off to the Wonderful World of Wiki's.
