I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to participate in Web 2.0
Some of the applications I learned were new to me, some I had previous experience with. I understand that our world is everchanging and to be able to keep up with it all is impossible. These weekly lessons have given me some ideas for things I would like to learn more about. I have found that I am using the internet more for photo storage and I have started a new blog for my personal endeavors.
My husband was somewhat jealous that I was able to be part of Web 2.0. Hopefully I can share what I've learned.
I would definitely like to participate in similar courses if they become available.

Gaming
I have always enjoyed games. Before computer games I spent my free time playing pinball at the Arcade. I know, I'm old. But I haven't lost my passion for games. I especially like the quick free games since my free time is rare. I have several free game sites bookmarked on my computer at home.
Because I have raised three boys I have become familiar with Warcraft, cheats, and hours and hours spent in front of the computer screen. They chat with each other and blow each other up. Sometimes I come home from work to see three boys on three different computers all battling. What a sight. My point is that I am aware of the impact of gaming in our society today. I am especially pleased that the library is embracing that and inviting the community to do the same.

Mapping
I have been familiar with Google Earth for a while now. Not only is it fun to play with it has helped me plan vacations. When we decide where we want to go we plug in the city and search for lodging. That way we can see if we are going to be in an ideal location or not.
I visited Weimar, the town I stayed in while I was in Germany, and was able to see pictures of different locations throughout the town. It was very nostalgic and somewhat educational.
When I look at my address I can almost tell the exact time the image was posted. I think we had just opened up our outdoor umbrella!
