# 23 Week 9

Phew !!!

Finally, I made it . I just can't believe I've finished it .

It was great learning experience.There were lot of things I never knew existed. Many new web sites that were interesting and worth learning something from them. It was irritating at times especially when I had to set up new accounts with username and password, but at the same time I felt really good when I finished each blog successfully and feel a sense of accomplishment.

My favourites among them were Flickr, Online image generator, PBWiki and of course NetLibrary. I got lot of help from my colleagues at work and family and felt above the moon when I finished my WebLearning before some of my other colleagues.

Overall, I must say that it was truly a rewarding experience and I am glad that I took part in this learning programme. I would encourage each of everyone to get into it and tell others in the families and friends, though they might not be part of the ACL staff. I hope to continue my learning and update myself at the various accounts I have created in a variety of website visited during my learning.

Good luck to all and Seasons Greetings !!!

# 22 Week 9 Net Library



This is very easy !!!

I got an account set up on Net Library.Once you are in your account it was easy accessing the database of books to favourites.

NetLibrary is very versatile and provides content from leading publishers for a variety of people, eBooks and eAudiobooks . I think NetLibrary will grow in future and become more and more popular.

Net library is for students and public as it is easy to use with access to multiple formats and best-selling titles from the world's leading publishers.

I was amazed at the collection and hope to spend more time in future being a avid reader.

#21 Week 9 Podcast

I really found Podcasts very very frustrating. It took me an hour to really understand, but I finally got around it.I added the comic book rss into my blogline account.I liked Yahoo Podcasts , it gives you option of Web, Image or Audio search, I prefer image and web search
http://www.bloglines.com/
In short podcast is a digital media file, or a related collection of such files, which is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers.

Week 9 # 20 YouTube

I enjoy watching free videos online, from a number of different categories. Many internet users only watch videos on YouTube, and also post their own YouTube videos. I have never done so before, so I wonder whether or not I really should.

Perhaps, the biggest advantage to making your own YouTube videos is that your videos can be just about whatever you want them to be. Although YouTube accepts videos on a wide variety of different subjects, you will want to proceed with caution. You should always be cautious of online predators; therefore, you will want to be cautious about divulging too much information about yourself. You might not necessarily think about it, but you also want to make sure that you don’t record and post anything illegal on YouTube. It has been said that YouTube regularly works with law enforcement to help solve crimes. That just goes to show that you never really who is watching your videos or what the consequences for posting them might be.

week 8 # 19 Web2.0 Award list

I visited the the short list and I liked Picasa , as I have been using it to upload my photo's. Picasa is software that makes it easy and fun to view, organise, edit and share the digital photos on your PC. Picasa will not delete your pictures or put them online without your permission. It is easier to send it to your friends and to your family abroad . My family and friends love Picasa. Picasa organises your entire collection while you watch, scanning the images on your computer and automatically sorting them by date. It creates a new “instance” of each photo you label without taking up more space on your computer, so you can put the same picture into multiple albums.It can edit like remove red eye, fix the contrast and colour, and enhance your digital pictures.You can make a movie with your photos complete with title graphics.Pick a favourite photo as your desktop picture or add several into your screen saver rotation.

The Library conducts a number of cultural programs through out the year viz. Chinese New Year, Diwali Festival of Lights, Christmas, etc. Photographs are taken and Picasa is good way to publish these photographs and sent to various community libraries.

A GREAT way to enjoy your photographs !!!!
