loved Flickr, Zoho, avatars,Del.icio.us,
I want to share many of them and change some of the classes we teach, including aiming some classes for younger users
I've already taken a look at the 43 things list and plan to check out a few myself. I would like this program to continue as an ongoing training. I just wish it had been offered in January with more time to complete.
Thanks for giving us this program. You need to share it with other Harris County departments! They probably have some online apps that we would appreciate learning about as well.

Week 9 #22 overdrive
I've already done quite a bit with Overdrive. I have reserved, downloaded and listened to a number of audiobooks. I often help customers download titles and have taught classes in this 3 times so far. I find that holds for these come in faster than for cds. I just now reserved a Margolin title.
I have downloaded overdrive videos (Jamaica Inn)as well ... It took FOREVER
However, I did not know about LibriVox and I think I'd someday like to do some volunteer recording for them. I can tell a difference in readers between overdrive and LibriVox. But the collection is varied and the price is right!
The Overdrive readers tend to be a better listening experience with more polished performances (naturally, considering that they do this for a living).
It's nice to have one more source to give to customers needing talking books.

Week 9 #21 podcasts
I added an RSS feed for the Sunnyvale Library podcasts. Although the ones I've seen so far are only audio. I see some real potential for library use, but with video as well.
I tried some nonlibrary ones as well : travel, car repair, finances, home repair, cooking, sermons. I don't feel a strong interest in this but I can see where others might.

Week 8 #19 Web Based Apps.
Now these are really cool! I'm working with Zoho's planner but can't seem to get it to publish to the blog (maybe because it's not public), but I can email it.
I did work with the spreadsheet (included below).

Zoho is a great site to check out for Internet instruction classes.
