the start of the conclusion
This class has been much more fun than I expected- but my final thoughts are not all in order yet.
I know I would be interested in another class offered. I expect I will cotninue to use delicious, but probably not RSS, unless I start all over again... I seem to have picked feeds that I never want to look at again.
The variation in time needed each week was a surprise over and over again. One week-I think it was RSS- I spent more than eight hours trying to make things work. Other weeks I spent about two hours.
It was fun to read other people's reactions to lessons - I seldom started until Thursday, sometimes did everything on Saturday- so others' insights were really valuable.
I'm off to try an avatar- I need a picture for MLA. Will this work???

the wiki week at last
The sample wikis were FULL of info.
It was interesting that the Wyoming authors wiki had not been updated for months - I checked out several authors - some other wikis had been changed in the last few hours.
A wiki for library employees - if there were more than one - would be useful, and save time and avoid disasters large and small that can occur when people don't know what's going on.
I'm thinking a wiki for my siblings might help us stay on track - in reading emails lately I catch news from one person only in reference back to a message that wasn't sent to me.
One wiki was a made up entirely of blogs...still trying to put that together in my mind.
The Montana book club wiki was fun- what a lot of books I have not read.

time to catch up?
I looked at some wikis last week - we lost our connection Saturday afternoon, the time I had reserved for this.
So, I will catch up in the wikis, AND go back to the podcasts - after I get back from three days of meetings: with the county fiscal office, Tracy's law wokshop, and the BV meeting.
One weird thing to note: the photo I had put on my desktop during flickr week disappeared last weekend. ???

tag! this one is fun
Tagging has been fun this week. The little movie, along with the written set of instructions, was easy to follow. (I still don't read lips.)
I set up an account in delicious - an easy one for me. The predicted interest of the social tags led me away from my work list today for more than an hour.
It seems that the tag cloud could be used in the same way people used to use a collection of notecards when gathering info for a project. They can be moved around, re-organized, and listed in different orders of importance.
The downside is that all the interesting sideroads may slow down one's timely arrival to one's original destination. (See paragraph two - I haven't finished this week's work.)

welcome to tagging week
Tonight I'm reading the intro info to tagging in between trips out to the library parking lot to see the lunar eclipse begin.
