You will see it as : Library Storytime
This is also a pretty cool site. It allows you to sort all your websites. I used storytime sites.

Reading Bulletin Boards

Facebook!!

I chose to do a "Facebook." I like MySpace better cuz you can make your layout more “pretty”. But Facebook is it. I can correspond with my teen granddaughters. Social networking is great but you always don't have the time to keep it up. I don't think the library needs a Facebook or MySpace page yet.

Thing # 12 – Internet Safety

There are many stories of how social networking has played dangerous roles in our children’s lives. Parents need to keep an eye out and checkup of what is being watched, and searched for on the internet by their child. BUT social networking also plays a positive role in their lives. Social networking requires them to “READ & WRITE”. When posting a comment on a blog or adds/edits content, reading and writing are required. We don’t hear much of these positive roles. Teachers are teaching social networking using Math Blogs, Author Blogs and creating newspapers. Librarians could teach and educate patrons by writing up brochures, and other handouts with information websites available. Libraries could also print out several copies of information articles to have available at checkout for patrons to see and take. We live in such a fast information age that internet is NOT going away. So we need to find out ways to help and encourage use of the social networking.

How COOL! Watching videos from my computer that didn’t cost me anything or having to leave my house.
I had trouble downloading without Jean's help. Bless you, Jean! When I got to the download part that said, "Run", I needed administrative assistance. So with Jean's help getting past that point, I was on a roll.
I watched a “kids” Caillou movie for a few minutes. Then a John Wayne classic. BUT, Then I watched a bit of, “Sexy & Fit after 40.” Did I say I was older than 40? Sorry. Dave is the trainer. He told me what I already knew – I NEED TO WORK OUT. Shucks, I thought working out in the library, lifting, stooping and carrying arm-loads of books was enough.
MyLibraryDV is cool! Check it out!

It's DEL.ICIO.US!!

Hey everyone, How is your day going? Mine is just ducky, oh, I mean, Del.icio.us!!
Figuring task "Thing8" out, was not that easy. I did figure it out though. I put, just for now, 3 websites on my del.icio.us account.
I think del.icio.us is a very valuable tool. One night while working on my home computer I wanted to look at some preschool storytime sites that I had added to my favorite list on my library computer. Do you think I could find those when I was at my home computer? NO.
Well, del.icio.us is a wonderful tool/program to sign-up for. I now can get my favorite websites on any computer I work from. Awesome!!
One of the websites I put on my account is the "city of Wasilla". There are 3 other people on there besides me.
I also put this training website on my account.
Yes, I really feel this is a wonderful site. I'm not sure how to use it for our patrons though. We already provide them with sites right as they log on to the computer.
Check it out, it's DEL.ICIO.US!!
