Hello Seattle

I left Charlotte Sunday at 9am and arrived in Seattle at noon. Had the day to explore. I walked down to the famous Pike Place Market which I learned is one of the oldest open air markets in the US. Yes they do throw fish, but you have to buy one. The funny thing was that there was another fish market there, and people kept asking when they were going to throw the fish. The guy working there must have said every five minutes, “We don’t throw fish that’s the other fish market.” Tomorrow I am meeting the folks from WebJunction along with some other library staff from around the country at Seattle Public Library which is conveniently located around the corner from my hotel.

Week 9 Thing 22: Net Library

I’ve used NetLibrary for a few years for both ebooks and audiobooks so what interested me most about this particular Learning 2.0 thing was not really NetLibrary but the tool that Mary Kyle of ImaginOn used to create the tutorial.

It’s amazing how many free tools are out there for trainers (and everyone else) to use and so hard to keep up with them all!

Week 9 Thing 21: Podcasts

I’ve listened to podcasts for a while now, but usually I listen to them on my PC. This semester at school I am taking a music class and our professor has a weekly podcast that we have to subscribe to. I was really impressed by this as most online training through universities is not very engaging.
