Del.icio.us

What a great idea!!!! I sure will use this - I will be teaching and what a great way to save sites in an orderly fashion!!!! http://del.icio.us/joanhib

You tube and google videos

Probably mainly for fun, you can think of many subjects and search and videos appear. For example I searched for Wiggles - this could be used to show children, short clips of some of their popular songs. I also searched for Graphic novels and found a couple of interesting interviews.
Would probably use this for interviews for example the talks at Mosman Library that have been captured on authors.

Week 5

SJCPL Subject guide - looked at the cooking link - includes subscriptions, resources, staff recipes, recipe of the month, markets , homework - it is like a one stop shop. Wow I thought it was great and could be used in a school library application for pathfinders. I will definitely keep this one in mind.
Book Lovers Wiki - 5 star reviews - picture of book cover and easy to read. Great to bookmark for library.
Wookieepedia - Star Wars - would keep fans entertained for years!

Bloglines

I was mainly searching for feeds that could keep me up-to-date with book reviews etc. I was a little disappointed to find only American ones. Anyway I RSS these ones - NYT Book Review; USA today.combooks; Washington post book reviews. I also captured Shifted LIbrarian, Yahoo 7 news and probably the most valuable to me was the CMIS evaluation - Resource bank. This is a great tool for teaching and is Australian!!! Even though I have not had access to a computer for a while (broken and a son that is glued to it!!!) I have had some time tonight to spend looking at these feeds. I was quit impressed with what I found especially in the CMIS one. I would probably keep this and keep searching for more Australian sites and then I would use it for my own PD.

This iamge is of a ballet dancers foot in point position without shoes on. The photo shows the strain on the foot in detail. Quite amazing!!!! considering my daughter is a dancer, you can understand why they have to look after their feet!!! I could not load the photo even though it was public!!!
