Lesson 17 already!?

My Motivator Picture from Flickr My Mosaic made with Flickr pictures

It seems like yesterday when I was struggling to just creat this blog spot! I'm glad that our "Masters" at KCLS 2.0 27things has given us this week to play. I hadn't the opportunity nor the gumption for that matter to explore or join anymore sites...little did I know, they would entice us with toys...bwah ah ah ah ah!!!!!


I do have a fondness for flickr, if you haven't noticed already so I did play alot with that site but I did go to the generator blog and had a blast! I took a spin thru glassgiant.com, where I created a giant cookie and became a Super Hero for the day.

Under extreme stress, I become... Thunder Sister !!! I have a Secret Special Power: Mystical Lips. My Transportation: Magnetic Train (I'm not sure how a magnetic train works or where to find one). I have a Weapon: Quantum Blade. and even a costume! Personally, I'm not into Steel but what the heck; Costume: Stainless Steel Cowl. I have a Sidekick: Dirk Deadly (I wonder if we are married) and a realNemesis: Eric the Elder. This is ironic as in real life, I love cats but I am allergic; Tragic Flaw: Fear of cats How my favorite food got to be Cheese is really not my choosing but the what the heck again! It's all in fun, right?

You'll notice all sorts of little pictures and do-dads thru out my page. Have fun, I did!

Here A Wiki, There A Wiki, Everywhere A Wiki, Wiki!!!

In Hawaiin, Wiki-Wiki means quick or hurry. So it only makes sense to call this super fast way to get and give various sources of information in one place "Wiki", sort of like one stop shopping!

This weeks lesson 15 really home for me. Our family uses wikipedia ALOT!!! Homework seems to be the big reason for my teens. It's a wealth of information on everything, I do mean EVERYTHING. Research for my son's senior project (technical theater) has been so much easier since he started using wikipedia.

I visited the ALA 2007 link and wish I hadn't been sick on the day I had planned on going! I did like how nicely the menu's were set with interesting events and "self guided" tours for newbies or more seasoned ALA CON goers.

My fave site is the Princeton library! Very cool indeed. I checked out the various reviews on books and what people were reading, I like that it was set up in a visually appealling way. I like to read but I tend to be drawn to pictures and colors. Captions that pop and spark my interest are going to be clicked on quicker that having to read an entire page to find the information I'm looking for.

Wiki's are cool!
