#10 Online image generator

Well this is my wombat collage...yes I really do love wombats!!!! They are all photos of wombats that I have taken.

I had a lot of fun playing with this.

I went to this website and used the http://www.bighugelabs.com/mosaic.php mosaic maker.

I would love to turn a photo into a 'pixelated' photo if anyone knows a website that can do this, so that the photo looks clear only when you  look at it from a distance...I couldn't find one!

#9 Virtual worlds

:( This doesn't really interest me, I think you would get caught up and waste A LOT of time!!! I think I have enough going on to fill my time in my first life, and if i'm loving my first life why would I ever want a second life? Now if I was disliking my first life this could be an escape!!!  MMMMM I think that could get dangerous!!! Would it be good for students??? Not sure...Would they learn or would they just find a place to escape?? 

#8 igoogle

Well my first experience of igoogle...I love it but now want my own laptop that I can customise just for me!!!! Google looks like a fun place to work and as long as they keep creating free gadgets and programs for me to use, I don't really care what environment they work in!!!!

#7 Google Books

I may use this at home but will definitely use it working in the library at school.
It is very easy and a great way to get blurbs about different books.
For buying books however, one of the best online book sellers I have found is book depositry in the UK, they have cheap books and free delivery!

#6 Google maps

Now this is something I have used before and enjoy.
My husband & I LOVE travelling, so we are always looking and seeing other peoples photos.
It is fascinating how they have photographed many of the streets around where I live, unfortunately the photo of my house was taken when our hedges were not neat & tidy...I hate that!!

#5 Google Docs

Wow!

I never knew you could do this. 

How easy this would be when you need people to update the same document, no multiple copies, just like the 'old days' when there was just one hard copy!


WOW WOW WOW We just worked out that that we can when each of us is typing, and we can type on the same document at the same time, with our email address letting us know who is typing what.


This is great if you have to update documents etc or even just for brainstorming!!

#4 web 2.0

Well I am on the journey, learning all about Web 2.0.
Web 2.0 has made the computer in a way 3 dimensional not simply 2 dimensional.
Where as we use to research a topic and discover the answers, the internet has now allowed us to not only do that, but also discover what others have researched and discovered as well, all in the click of a button.
It also allows people with similar interests and knowledge to interact, share and brainstorm together on a global scale.

My first Blog! Activity #1-3

Well this is my first blog. It is all very new to me. I had fun changing the background and text colours and will get more inventive and creative as I go on...I hope!
I am doing this as a personal development course with the school where I work as a library assistant. Our Library or Discovery Centre as we call it, has a wonderful open and sunny area for the students and staff to learn in.
