Thing 11: Prezi

Once you knew what you were doing it made it easier to use but not sure if I would like to see every slide zoom in as I was getting a little quesy ha!
Here is my prezi with pictures of cities I intend to see on my travels. NOTE: the pictures are big so it takes time to download

Thing 10: Google Docs

Accessing this was a little slow until someone told me it's had a name change to Google Drive. Rather than create a new document, I copied and pasted a previous agenda document.  Theoretically I could then email my colleagues with the link so that it would give them access to edit the document. A good tool for those who don't have access to a shared drive eg students working on an assignment together.

Thing 9: Wall Wisher

I actually enjoyed using this tool and I like that it can be open to everyone to make comments on a virtual message board. I think that the library could open it up for staff to make comments when a new project is proposed eg RFID.
My wall, holiday ideas ask for tips and suggestions when travelling abroad.
Not on facebook so I didn't use Juxatapost.

Thing 8: Minutes

I thought this was a good tool.  I practiced with minute items from a children's meeting that I had just attented.  It was easy to use and set out in a simple template however I think it needs to provide more space for agenda items.  I liked the special tabs of  instructions that you could select for the item eg idea, decision etc.

Thing7: iGoogle

Where would we be without Google? It's a fantastic tool and it was fun to customize the page with the tabs that I thought would be interesting to use.  I've added a quote tab, recipe tab and weather tab - may not always cook a new dish but I do enjoy looking at the food pictures ha!

Thing 6: QR codes

Had no idea what QR codes were but now I'm seeing them everywhere from posters and magazines to the back of my shampoo bottle!  I think they are a great idea and it would be great to add them to our event posters.  By scanning the code, borrowers could have all the details (date, time, place etc) without having to worry about writing down the details or losing the flyer.

I also made a basic QR code linking it to our catalogue page.
The only issue with QR codes is that people need smart phones in order to use the application that can scan the codes.

Thing 5: Google Art Project

I thought this was a great sight! A fantastic tool for anyone intrested in art and the best feature is that you can 'tour' the galleries anytime without having to physically be there!
