CTLS 23 Things Program Evaluation

First of all I would like to thank CTLS for giving us the opportunity to participate in this life long learning adventure. Also thanks to CTLS Friends and Tocker Foundation for the prize. Many thanks to Kam McEvoy for the quick responses to my challenging questions I had. I know I was a challenge as I did get confused at times. Working together with staff members was also a help.
I guess if we hadn't had the opportunity , I wouldn't have known about all the good sites and resources that are out there. I understood some of the sites that I always see patrons using.
The ones I liked was Flickr and Chat. I had a hard time with Technorati. If given the opportunity again I would definitely do it again, the only problem we all face is the time to explore at greater lengths.
I would like the gift certificate to Best Buy

Audio books

LibriVox » The Spirit of Christmas by Henry van Dyke
This is the book I listened to as I explored librivox.org. I also listened to 100 Ways to Simplify your life, just a small 2 minute audio which I enjoyed under the Brooklyn Public Library. I also listened to Podiobooks.com the title Jabez: conceived in pain. I really enjoyed audio books, as my time is limited . I enjoyed the books on CD on my drive to work and going back home.

podcast

This is an extra podcast I subscribed to:

podcast

I liked Podcast.com the best because it was easier to view and listen to. I exlored Nuestro Canto and actually liked the podcast and wouldn't mind subscribing to that. I explored and listened to religion and Because Nature Tells Us. The one I really listen to is http://podcast.com/show/4675/, because I listen to the news alot.
Under Podcastally.com, I listened to Free Talk Live and I can see how this would be a good site for people who like to voice their opinions and call about any subject. In Yahoo Podcast I entered Library and most of the stuff that came up, you had to download using iTunes, Audio Lunchbox or Pay Play.Fm. Most of the Podcast I looked at related to music. I can see how Podcasting can be used for education between teachers, students, parents as you can share information about curriculum with anyone at anytime.

you tube

I explored all the sites mentioned and you can see videos until infinity and beyond. Wish I had the time to watch all the good and funny videos. I liked the fact that you can see older videos from way back when. The thing I did not like is the sex related stuff. I liked the music videos, but I selected another catagory.I selected this video because of all the pretty pictures of nature.

discovering Web 2.0

I explored quite a few catagories, Food, health, classified and Directories, Music and Retail. The sites are all very useful and you can spend hours looking at everything. The one i enjoy was retail. I worked in retail for 20 years and that field is so different than what I am doing now. I looked at the four sited under retail and it was fun looking at the merchandise they offer. Sort of like window shopping. This web site was very interesting;
