Learning 2.0 - The End

Well, I am here to say that I have completed the learning 2.0 activities. I feel like I have accomplished a huge task. These lessons, were stretched out over the semester so it felt like it took forever to finish them, but it's done NOW.

Today we had a celebration in the library lobby. We enjoyed cake, cookies, hot chocolate, and lemonade. We also enjoyed the wii systems. Our coordinator and tech guy set the two gaming systems up on the big screens in the lobby. I have played tennis and lost; boxed in two matches and won one, then lost the second game; and at last I have done the DDR till my legs hurt.

Overall, this program was fun and interesting. I have learned a lot!!! I feel more savvy in technology, plus I am excited to use all the great things I have learned. It's been fun and hopefully we can do more lessons as new opportunities become available.

Love this video

OMG, the video below is so cute. I can't believe that this couple had time to choreograph this dance in the midst of all their wedding planning. On the Ellen show she asked this guy what he was doing before the wedding he said, "in the bathroom w/ the door shut practicing this dance." Well watch and enjoy, it's great.

#20 Mashups & #21 Mashup Editors

For the last two lessons #20 & #21 on mashups we were to explore the different mashups on the web. In the last lesson we were to create our own mashup.
I initially went to the Mashup Directory, but didn't have much luck in finding anything interesting. So I decided to look at the Ten Best Flickr Mashups. I first tried to use Captioner, but guess what?? It didn't work. I later found out that it didn't work because I was using a photo that had been set to private. So I decided to then use Spell with flickr (see the result below).
I really liked using Spell with flickr. I don't think I will use mashups for alot things, but I do think that some of the options available will be a nice touch to add to my blog and pictures.
