23 Things Kansas Webinar

I just participated in the webinar and can hardly believe that 23 Things Kansas is coming to an end. We were given so many things to learn about it makes my head spin. I am one of these people who love to learn new things but easily gets intimidated. Everything was done is such a way that it wasn't hard to do.

I was always confused my cloud computing and really didn't know what it was but thanks to 23 Things Kansas I understand it! Blogging was not my thing but I'm starting to like it. Facebook and Twitter were things I was already doing. My computer crashed a few months ago and learning more about Flickr and Picasa prompted me to put my pictures on those sites. I was using Flickr and have since switched to mostly using Picasa. I find it more user friendly. Shelfari and Delicious were fun to learn about. I'm not sure how much I will personally use them but I now know what others are talking about. I haven't done the screen casting yet. I find that assignment really is scarry but tomorrow I'm going to bite the bullet and do it! Check back to see what I've done with it. I dabbled with Ning but they have now changed and are starting to charge you to use it.

The thing I enjoyed the best was slide sharing. I used Animoto and fell in love with it. I've made slide shows of my coworkers, my dog, of get togethers with friends, and flowers. I have posted a lot of them to my blog but have also sent them to friends. Since I'm having so much fun with it I now am thinking about paying for the "pro" package for it. I want to find more sites like it and try them out.

I hope everybody had as much fun with 23 Things Kansas as I did!

Delicious

Here is week six and I'm learning something new and fun. Today I started my own Delicious account. This was totally new to me. I found this site very helpful and I think this could be addicting to me!
Tagging wasn't a scary term for me but the idea of doing this was a little intimidating since I've never really down anything like this except for the favorites on my computer. Since I love music so much of course I had to bookmark my favorite band web sites along with my Facebook, Myspace and email accounts. I also added my local paper so I can keep up on the local news. The only thing is it seemed like I kept using the same tags. Oh well, when I play with it more I'm sure I'll find other sites and use more tags.
I also checked out Stumbleupon. I really was entertained by this site. This site would be a place to go when I'm looking for just some entertainment. I loved the stumble button. One thing I found when using it was a version of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean done by a man using an accordion and a suitcase for a drum. What a find!
