I have chosen "Blue Beauty". The sceneries are spectacular. Oh the wonder of creation. There is so much to see and learn.

iTunes

This is another way to listen to an audio book or a favorite interview while surfing or working on the computer. Actually, it is quite neat. I guess I need to invest in an ipod which would be even better. I am enjoying the ride learning about all these gadgets on the market.

Colorful Tabs

I was now able to download this extension through Mozilla Firefox.
Each tab has a distinctive color.

Browser Extensions/Addons

It is now week ten and we are closer to completing our course.This week we are introduced to add ons which will enable our browser to be more productive, fun and interesting.I have tried to add Colorful Tabs because I thought it would be cool to have color to the tabs in my browser. Unfortunately, I was unable to open it. I also, tried Google Toolbar and it didn't work out as well.

Facebook

Facebook is a wonderful meeting place for friends, families, co-workers etc. A computer is necessary to get started. The meeting is done in the comfort of your own home or any suitable place. Gas is not needed for travelling. Time management is very important. It is easy to get carried away catching up on old and current affairs. Even though it is a fun thing to do, I chose not to sign up at this time.

Google Docs

What an awesome tool. This is excellent for groups. The sharing of one document would be valuable to all in a group. Each one can share their thoughts and mistakes can be corrected. There is so much more to google.
It is a pleasure working with some of the other tools.

LibraryThing

This is exciting. I like the fact that I can create my own library.
It is so easy to do.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking allows me to store, organize, search and manage bookmarks of my favorite web pages. More importantly I can access this service from any computer with internet access. This is superb. Libraries are already using this tool for research guides. In time the use of this will be expanded. Please see my link below.

Flickr

I am so fascinated by what Flickr represents. An album of beautiful photos taken by so many photographers all over the world. It is really an amazing venue to show off your special photos. It is interesting to see the story behind each one. I do believe that each one tells a story. There are many untold stories out there. Even though I am not there yet, I would highly recommend Flickr as an excellent tool to show off those gorgeous photos to friends, co-workers, support group etc.

Here is my link to some beautiful sites in Europe. For those of us who have never been there this a glimpse of what you are missing.

WIKIS

Wikis is an interesting tool that can be used for group communication.
Though it may be time consuming, it will accomplish its goal. It can also be used for recipes as we can see in our own. It is looking more like a cookbook. Soon it will be published (joking).

Second week - My Journey

I am enjoying the road down the path of RSS. It made life much simplier.
Instead of going from one site to the other and so on - all the sites are managed in one place. This is so cool and exciting.

My Journey

I thought it would be difficult to set up a blog - But to my amazement it is very easy. Looking forward to the weeks ahead as I learn new things.
