Reflection

There has been some interesting apps that will be useful to the library on a daily basis and not so useful tools.

I personally, have been using google docs more but prefer openoffice.org. I hardly use IE for browsing the internet but use Mozilla/firefox instead.

Just recently acquired an iPad and have been playing around with all the different apps and the 23 things on this device. Great when going abroad.

There are a few extremely good tools to use - eg. programmes can be placed on Youtube or we can create podcasts especially for the Storytelling Festival (careful of copyright and performance rights etc....). When working on documents in a group setting have them all placed on google docs to permit editing at anytime either at work or remotely.

Still not implementing any social network accounts, however I skype a lot with family and keep in contact with them through the WII. Connected the WII to the internet and can send photos to friends, messages, and even play games with nephews only. Great fun.

The 23 things has been quite educational, however if you don't use them in your personal life regularly and they are only useful sparodically professionally then you tend to forget how to use them. As with all technology some of these apps will disappear or migrate into the next "best thing". These types of services are always evolving.
