NZ2.0

The first place I went looking for the application of Web 2.0 was in the education field thinking that those in education wuld be first off the mark. So after looking on the links on the CCL Internet Gateway I found was an RSS feed link on the Ministry of Education website. I thought the Te Kete Ipurangi site would have something but no! The Career Services had a link to follow them on twitter which was great.
AUT had 5 Rss feeds on different things, massey Uni had Encore ....and that is all I had time for.
NZ Live has blogs, RSS feeds,own account with people's preferences - this is certainly tailored to people to make it their own to suit them. The Museums are sharing within themselves and provide tags for searching as well as allow th public to add tags to a record. The Horowhenua District library has a Kete of their local history which people can add to. This is a great way to tap into local knowledge and resources. I think Matapihi could work like hat as well and allow the public to create records of their own old pictures, sound recordings etc and tag them.

In the cloud

I really enjoyed doing this Module as I could see the application of things discussed in my work and my personal life. Being able to log in anywhere and alter a document is fantastic and the ability for someone to edit it would be really useful too. I quite like the idea of Library Thing as a tool to remember what I have read and look for similar books. Also Erin suggested it could also be used for Storyline customers and keeping track of what they have read/listened to.

Google docs

Google Docs

This was really fun. Easy to use and can see me using it instead of using the 'M' drive which we won't have from the 1st November. I really liked the clean look of the Google docs as well. Also will use it at home so I have more free space on my computer.
Great to be able to access it from anywhere! And the edit feature is great!

Wikis

This was the most frustrating module so far. I couldn't figure out how to create a Wiki but did add something to Glenns. Then I couldn't log in to PBWiki even though I had set up an account, so have given up for the moment so I can get on with the other modules I have not even started. it's all very well "discovering" how to do it but when you are pressed for time it just gets frustrating.

Frustration!!!

Couldn't have a look at the other mashup things as the computer froze. Then it wouldn't let me go on to the next activity. This optional section will have to wait for another time. also Mozilla wasn't working when I started either.

Flickr Upload

My first go at CCLLearn this week! Have just done the Flickr upload to the CCL album and found it quite easy. I did ask Margot first to see if she was ok adding it. I had a Flickr account awhile ago but have forgotten my user name and password. Although I like the idea of Flickr for personal use I don't think I would go public with my own photos, except with friends and family.

Social Networking

I really enjoyed this module and hope to spend more time on the weekend adding some photos and having a play around on the Fendal Femails Network as have been short of time this week.
