Lesson Four: Photo Sharing

I was excited to play around with this lesson! I have heard of many of these photo sharing sites. I first tried Shutterfly, and got all signed up and everything, but it wouldn't let me upload photos! So, I decided to try Flickr and had the same problems! However, I have used Flickr before in the past, so I do know how it works. I use the photo sharing sites a lot to share photos with my friends and family. I feel like these are a very helpful sights and could be used in a library setting to share photos of activities and conferences. Plus, they are fun to use! Once I get my computer to start uploading pictures I will post the link to my new Flickr account that I made for this lesson.

Lesson Three: Online Meetings

This was an interesting lesson. I went through the lesson and viewed archived webinars. I think this is a very effective tool for communicating with other libraries, and getting information out to a wider audience (especially with how tight travel money is these days). I have done a webinar in the past, for WorldCat training. I was nervous to do it, but upon completion, found that I not only learned just as much as if I would have traveled to a conference but that I also enjoyed it! I really liked this tool.
