Thing 19- Podcasts

I found this Thing to be interesting and useful. I haven't checked all the Podcast directories yet, but I thought that some of the Minnesota Public Radio podcasts looked intriguing. I can especially use their political podcasts, since I am not up-to-date with what'shappening there like I should be.
I put two RSS feeds from such podcasts into my bloglines account.

Thing 18- You Tube

I really enjoyed learning about this Thing. I thought that many of the library-related videos were pretty amusing. For putting into my blog, I chose a site that starts out with a "funny library commercial", because I like the idea of getting silly about libraries sometimes. We library employees work hard and we can use some stress relievers. I had a lot of trouble getting the video into my blog, though, because the instructions in the Things site didn't work.

Thing 17- ELM Productivity Tools

This Thing appeared to be useful, since I do use Academic Search Premier a lot. I created a personal account in there and looked in my folder. However, I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do with a web page after I had created it. What's the web page for?

Thing 16- Assignment and Project Calculators

I'm support staff in a public library now, and I'm not in the position of advising students about their work, so I won't be using these tools at work in that way at this time. I might use the project one for myself at work, if I have a project that's lengthy enough. I take classes, so I might use the tools to help me with my classes. So I'm saving the links in case I need them.
