Thing #10 NetLibrary

The eAudiobook details section has useful options: add to favorites and email the information. Subject browse is also a helpful feature. I was surprised that the SPPL has only 112 titles. Did I miss a link to additional titles?

I listened to a preview which is a great option. At times a specific reader of an audiobook may either enhance or detract from the book.

I was frustrated when I selected a title and attempted unsuccessfully to download. The screen advised: Unable to check out this eContent. Please try again later. What? Why?

Thing #9 podcasts

The National Public Radio Podcast Directory is a terrific resource. It lists nearly 600 podcasts. I did not realize that I previously have listened to podcasts! I found the Writers' Almanac and listened to it by going to the podcast's website. KQED The Writers' Block is also interesting.

Thing #8 YouTube

YouTube of Dream of Grand Teton National Park is fun! Mountains, sound of water, audio track of Mama Cass, fade techniques are amazing to see, but who has time to create this??

Friends have sent me videos from this site, always humorous. I notice in the Teton video that the image is grainy. It is interesting for the general concept rather than expecting a high quality technical image.

About Technology

The uses for this new technology at times seem limitless. It is exciting to see the widespread application for people of all ages and backgrounds. Technology enhances early learning in children and life-long learning in us all.

After I experimented with color choices and intensity, I found a green set which is beautiful. I assumed that I would be able to select an image and view it. A click, and nothing happened.

Then I read further on this site and learned, it is a toy! Incredible! It is just for fun. A great reminder to play.

I am impressed with the creativity of my co-workers!

Are any of the habits really easy?
The easiest for me is habit 1, beginning with the end in mind. The most difficult is to remember habit 7.5, play.
