Week 6: Fun Stuff

Wow - I finally have some time to finish week 6 (I think this is my 3rd week of week 6 - but it's a lot more fun than my 3rd year of 3rd year of Uni but that's another story).

I know I had all these intelligent things to say after spending a wonderful 15 minutes stumbling upon random web pages (and they were random - I think that I ticked that I was interested in just about everything). One of the pages was an incredible find (for me) as it allows you to upload an image and divide it into smaller ones for printing - something of great use for the library and our current printing resources (http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1yWuJy/www.blockposters.com/). I was quite happy to find something on the Internet that kept me interested for longer than 5 minutes. I don't think that I'm easily bored - I think that I often limit myself to various sites on the Internet rather than taking the time to explore (perhaps this is a bit like going to the library and only looking at the DVD's and perhaps going home empty handed because you've already seen the ones you want to see).

I keep finding that Learning 2.0 is making me interact with websites that I knew about but didn't bother (for whatever reason - though I've probably gone into why in various previous ramblings/posts.) Again, I'm having trouble viewing some of the pages/resources due to IT shortcomings but I think the basic idea is to interact with what you can and possibly keep the others in mind for when some very distant relative leaves me a fortune and I finally buy a computer (by which time of course, the Internet will have moved on - Web 67.5 anyone?). I can't say that I can totally understand what Rollyo is doing - at the moment I'm wondering if it is to help you create directories and then search them (yes, I know that there is a description but I need to understand this in my own way) - I think I may have a look through other blogs and see whether anyone else has had anything to say about it.
