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!

Shelfari

I'm not one of these people who keep a list of books that they have read or ones that they want to read but I thought this site was kind of neat. I had fun going through and finding books that I have read and marked one that I'm reading now. This site looks helpful and I will recommend it to people who are looking for something like it but for right now I will work with it awhile and give it a chance. Who knows, maybe I'll get into keeping a list of "to reads" and "have read"!
