jingalingaling!

Today I caught with week 12: Screencasting. After a few rough (unscripted) runs, Darla and I made Coco's_Request__Starring_Sandy_and_Darla starring the lovely Coco Cabana. Savvy viewers will notice my typo! Audiences and critics alike will agree, this is a great information tool. We had fun making this. Thumbs up 23 Things Kansas! I'll be wrapping up with the webinar tonight. Huzzah!

almost there!

Today I created a page on the 23 Things Kansas wiki. My apologies to the folks in the background who I couldn't crop out - Piknic just wasn't having it. Like many, I am happy I had the chance to try out so many fun things via 23 Things!

"shockingly easy"

That's how Animoto bills itself, and it's true. I used Animoto to create a slideshow I find unintentionally funny. Want to know how to dance to fur-covered dishes? Look no further than here.

It would be fun and easy to use Animoto, etc. to showcase photos from library events, especially if patrons have a hand in the creation!

Shelfari!

Today I joined Shelfari. I chose it for its simple format and eye appeal (this looks way better than the plain-jane reading spreadsheet I've been keeping since 2009!) I added one book I've read, one I'm currently reading and one I plan to read just to get started.

Between 23things and last week's KLA convention, I've got so many fun ideas and tools to explore and re-visit! (Still can't get into Twitter though...maybe someday, maybe not.) My screencasting exercise will be a collaborative one, hopefully executed in a week. My goal is to be caught up on everything else by then too.
