Relax and Reflect

There are so many things that I learned. Some of the training subjects I knew of but never tried. I was glad that I did! (Social networks,Blogging, Gaming, ect.) I don't think on a personal level I would do alot of these again. But it is good to know how so that I if a patron comes up an asks me about Facebook or Delicious I would be able to give them some information instead of a blank stare. There are other online resources that I would mention to the partons, such as, Overdrive and Google docs, that would really be use to them I think. I would definitely like to do another program like this. It wasn't as hard as I imagined. There were some trainings that I struggled with but in the end I got it. What really suprised me the most, was how much stuff you can do online, that doesn't cost a thing. All in all it was a training that I am glad I had!

Gaming

I was never good at games! The free games in yahoo were easy to find. It was easier than I thought. I tried a game that I was really bad at. But it was fun! I did feel a little guilty playing while at work. It is good to know some places that I can show parents for their children to play games in besides Disney.

Maps and Geotagging

Boy! That was fun. I first went to Walt Disney World and then hung around Paris for a while. Then I went to Vegas and the Grand Canyon and Scotland. I like the purple information dots and the cameras that show pictures of the spot. I found everything I was looking for with ease. what suprised me is when I got directions for a place in Canada, it was more than driving directions there is also a video. Everything is visual. This is a nice place for any kind of mapping, directions or if you just want to look around at a city or place.
