Maps

I spent a fair amount of time on Google Earth. It is amazing and you could get lost in this sight.

Overdrive Downloads

I have downloaded a book from the overdrive collection. This is a great deal.

Avatars and second life

I created an avatar in both of the recommended web sites. I found the Gai Tech one hard to use. It was fun! I had taken a class on Second Life and found it interesting but weird. I am busy enough figuring out my REAL life and real job and do not need to create an alter ego in an online universe.

Online Applications...

I explored and tried several of the online free applications. Google documents had a cute birthday reminder list as well as alot of Christmas letter backgrounds and organization charts for shopping lists and so on. Also found the Zoho writer interesting but did not find as much that I understood there. Seemed there were alot of things for more techy people than I. I learned alot in my research though.

Search Engines

I enjoyed this section and enjoyed learning about different search engines. I was unable to come up with a specific enough search to highlight the differences.

Podcasting

I was able with help from co-workers to set two feeds to my Google Reader which pod cast. I also set up a feed --not podcasting--which will help in work with book discussion groups. A good session.

Image Generators

This section had alot of applications which I did not understand. I found them interesting but felt it was abit time consuming and too much like play on work time to completely explore. I did do a Monopoly card with my own script.
