Yes I have made it - sorry I am so late.
Have found it very helpful and although I don't know any where enough, at least feel I can be a little more help and try and keep up with the students.
I have found the time to get to do the course the biggest problem - has definately taken more time than I had allowed to compelte which of cause and had me always behind. I think if you have some prior undetstanding of a lot these applications it would be a lot quicker to complete but then I guess you wouldn't being doing it in the first place.
Overall most worth while and I have already been able to pass on things I have learnt to other staff. Also has given me more credability with my own family as I can now show them new things instead of the other way around.
An I even now have my Facebook page which is great to keep up with what family and friends are up to - just need an extra couple of hours in my day to keep it going.

# 22 Audiobooks and #23 Downloadable Media
Well I'm almost there. Have looked at audiobooks several times before as we have a student who is unable to read and he is a regular at our Library so we are always on the look out for something new for him.
Yes Margie I apologise for not replying - thanks for reading my blog and would love any links you have to investigate audiobooks.
Ebooks I have also been looking at for about the last six months. Actually already have Project Gutenberg in my favorites so was familar with that and enjoyed having a look around World Ebook Fair. Will now add that as well and will look at more in the future. We purchased a Kobo ereader at the end of last year (a little budget was left over) to use and become familar with as we try and work out how to use them in the Library and which is the best sort to invest in. My daughter has an ipad so of course that is another one often used but must admit I always get side tracked on something else before I ever get to the ebooks.
Have also investigated our local council libary and which books are available to download as an ebook but to date have found the ones we are after are not yet available.

After attending Syba Signs seminar on the 27th May I decided I need to have another look at Wikis as this is what was used by a wonderful teacher/librarian as a research tool for her classes with great results.
