Thing #5 Do you Jing?

I have completed this task one week early as I will not be available next week.

I can see where Jing would be useful for quick instructions on how to use equipment, copiers for example. I had a student only yesterday who had no clue how to use one of the library's public copiers if we had the instructions on Jing available that would be good.

I don't have any favorite data base to make a video and I also have no microphone for sound so I made a quick video of my Bio slide.

Now the problem I have is to somehow embed it in this blog. They do not give any instructions on how to do it so I will try and paste and see what happens.

Well the link came up so lets hope it works.

Pollak Library #4 of 10 Things

I found it interesting to be able to post photos on Flikr and I did not know the Library had its own Flikr site. The only thing I don't like is having to join all these different sites to use their products. I have had to create several new accounts and I am only at Thing # 4. I guess that is what you have to do to be part of WEB 2.0

Flikr does not make it easy to post the pictures in a different blog from Yahoos. I had to have my students show me how to do it. Now I know how to do it. I am enjoying these "10 Things" as I am learning how to use these products.

Pollak Library #2 of 10 Things

Well this is my very first entry in my Pollak Library 10 Things blog.

My initial thoughts about Library 2.0 technology is that the first of the 10 things was a little confusing at first. This #2 Thing is more straight forward and understandable.

Thats it for now.
