Week 9, Thing# 23

It is great I finally go through these 23 things. In the process, I struggle to meet deadlines but I do learn things that I do not know before. Without this course, I may not create my personal blog to broadcast my opinions.

Week 9, Thing# 22

At "Best Places to Get Free Books", there are millions of EBooks such as Java Programming, HTML A Beginner's guide, Learn C-Programming etc free of charge. It can save you a great deal by using EBook sites to learn something without burning your pocket.

Week 9, Thing#21

I have found a podcast called "Distorted View- Daily" at Podcastalley.com. This podcast is now added to my Google Reader. I can listen to any new casts when they are available without searching from Podcastalley.com again.

Week 9, Thing #20

I watch President Barack Obama 2009 Inauguration and Address in YouTube. United States of America is now in economic recession. His speech has a great impact on the world's economy. Everyone is watching what pills he has to solve the crisis to bring the world back to prosperity.

Week 7, Thing#17

In classroomlearning 2 Wiki/SandBox, all topics are on Cats and Dogs. I do not keep pets and have nothing to add to the Wiki.

Week 7, Thing#16

Wikis allows individual to create, add and edit any entry. It was developed to allow for easy, fast collaborative development and editing of a website by users who choose to participate.
Wikis are a great way of collaboratively developing a website. Patrons can add to the collection of useful resources and can prune away the dead links. The librarian can moderate the Wiki and decide what websites can stay in the guide. He/She can let everyone contribute freely and update the subject guide quickly and easily.
