Week 16

I'm not sure what you want from us this week since there's no assignment. I have done the earlier lessons and have now read this one. me

Week 15

This week we worked on Remember the Milk and Jott. I sent 2 messages to Remember the milk and edited one of them. I also checked out rplait's site on Jott. I found these sites confusing. I think these sites would be fine for people who use their electronics all the time. I definitely prefer good old paper and pencil. Probably won't use these sites anymore now that homework is complete. me

Week 14

Tagging and especially Delicious is very interesting. You could very easily spend a lot of time there. I ran out of time so didn't actually set up my own account yet. Do hope to in the future. The question of using tagging on the library catalog is complex. I think many people would love it. I would certainly find it interesting. It would be neat to see other people's comments about different items. I would like it that you have to go in differently to look at the tags. If you're not interested in them you wouldn't see them. I thought it looked like that on the Ann Arbor site. The complex issue would be in trusting people to use appropriate words. I'm afraid many of our "regulars" wouldn't follow along with that and then there would be the problem of policing it or enforcing the use of only appropriate words. I also went back and added tags to my earlier posts.

Week 13

Wow a new semester already! I'm already familiar with using Google Talk to keep in touch with our children who live so far away. Therefore didn't have to set up a new account. I've read all of the information and checked out the sites. I think Meebo looks great for anyone who IMs a lot. The uses for libraries are great too. I didn't sign up for a Meebo account because I just don't do it enough.
