Thing 8: Share your creations

Here are pictures of the mural in my library. Last summer, my friend John created and painted it. While he was hard at work painting and singing along with radio, I weeded and weeded the non-fiction collection. There are no pictures of the many boxes of deaccessioned books, but there are these great pictures of the mural in progress!







With Zoho, I like the idea of being able to make updates and then those changes being automatically updated on the webpage. We'll see if that happens. I found a grammar error, corrected it and resaved the show, but when I last checked, that change hadn't yet been posted. What was frustrating for me was the slowness of Zoho. I wanted it to move a little faster than it did, but when I reminded myself what I was asking of it and that it was live and on the web, I became a little less critical about speed. (I know, I know. Those of you who know that I have dial-up at home are thinking I don't have a leg to stand on, but this post was done on a speedy computer with a speedy connection. :0)



A side note, I love the pictures of my fellow school media specialists posted on the 23 Things site!



Finally, I am intrigued by Lazybase and am contemplating how we might use that for the various reading lists I/the English Dept. compile for students. Right now, we use MS Excel as well as tables in MS Word lots and lots . . .
