Podcasting

Well I recorded a podcast this afternoon. My 9 yr old daughter, Cecelia, sang her favorite song. I did have some trouble with the quality of the recording but I think that is more due to my cell phone then the podcast itself. That and Cecelia was a bit shy so she didnt sing as loud as she would normally.

So now I am going to try to add it to my blog...lets see if this works...

Gabcast! Project Play Week 6 #17 - Miss Melanie's daugher - Cecelia Adeline Singing

Cecelia wanted to sing her favorite song "Above All"

Ok so I have to admit I have not felt favorably towards MySpace and other social networks. I did like how the libraries that I checked out had used their "space" to promote programming and to put themselves out there. I just dont really see it being that great of an asset. The people that would go to a MySpace or FaceBook account to find information about our library could just as quickly go to our homepage and find the same information. I also had considered having a site for our teen group and parents voiced concern over their teens being on the site.

I dont know maybe I am missing something but the social networking sites are not high on my list of things to add to my day.

Sorry I couldnt be more positive about this assignment.

Tell me who loves you
and I will tell you who you are

Remember the Milk, Jott etc...

I LOVE Jott! I used it to text to my husband. Of course his concern was that our cell phone company would find a way to bill us extra for the message but it didnt so I plan on using this service often. How great not to have to try to type out a text message!!

Adding the task to the project play sandbox was easy enough to do but it looks as if my email signature messed with the way my task was displayed. I would have to remember to take it off when adding a task to a list. Overall though I was very pleased with the ease of use and I am sure that after some more playing with it I will find it to be even more useful.

Oh and the task I posted was: For one day end all your sentences with "Ta-Da!"
(don't forget to bow after you say it)

Now go out and complete this task!

Miss Melanie

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is
they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff,
then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What
was THAT?!"

I <3 Google Docs

This lesson came at the perfect time. I got a laptop for my birthday and needed to transfer all my files, favorites and contacts from our desktop so of course I instantly thought to copy and paste them all to Google Docs then opening them on my laptop and saving them to my documents.

Whoo hoo Google Docs!

I also think it is nice for Val and I to be able to share childrens programming ideas, plans and schedules. We both can work at home or at the library and still have easy access to files.
