Wrap up

I really enjoyed this experience every week and being to learn so much. I liked the google reader site. I don't think I would have created a blog if not for work. It was a very worthwhile experience to learn about different sites and what is available. I would participate again and plan to continue to use the sites I have discovered. Thank you.

Web 2.0 Tools

I have looked at the site of award winners and realized how many much more there is still alot to learn.

Google Docs

I looked at the google docs and sent a couple of documents to people. I think this is a good way to gather information and also to send information. I am not sure I would use this tool alot right now. I will keep working on this site to see if I will be able to find a way to use it more.

Book sites

I joined the Good Reads Book site. It seems to be easy to use and a good way to be able to track the books you like and read. It seems a good tool to also use to recommend books to your friends.

Social Bookmarking

I looked through the del.icio.us site and went to the JPL account. I thought it would be useful if there was a website that was used frequently. There was some good interesting things in the tag for Readers Advisory. I am not sure I would need to use this site personally as I only revisit a few sites. It is always helpful to learn shortcuts in doing things though.

Podcasts

I looked at several of the Podcast sites. It was not difficult to search the sites. I did sign up for a NPR book broadcast to receive information on books. It is yet another way to have easy access to information. I really enjoy discovering all these great sites and tools to use to get all types of information.

RSS google reader

I found this has a very useful site. I added recipe sites, entertainment, news and weather sites, information about Joliet. I will probably use this site often as it will save time in the way I receive information. It was not difficult to subscribe to different sites and organize them in folders for easy access.
