I found the Google calendar feature to be very helpful. It can easily be created and updated, and is a great way for all staff, students, and parents to see what is going on in the library or at school.
Using Picasa Web Albums is a great to set up a photo gallery in which parents and other staff members could view what students are learning. I think students would enjoy seeing themselves in an online photo album.

Thing 6-Flickr Mashups in Library Program
Check out the trading card made about students researching in the library.
I really liked the movie poster feature because it could be used to make "Pick of the Week" posters. Students would summarize their favorite book for the week and the poster would be hung to advertise various books students are reading. Also, the calendar feature would be very handy to help organize events occurring in the library. I also liked the use of trading cards, where students could trade and collect cards that would feature popular titles or authors.

Thing 3-Avatar Creation
Creating an avatar proved a little difficult at first because yahoo was unalbe to process my request. I think it will be neat to personalize my avatar once I am able to get into the program.
Thing 4-How Will You Use Blogs?
The use of a blog will benefit me most by being able to share new experiences, as well as learn other successful lessons from various librarians. Blogs can be a great resource for collaboration.
Thing 2- 7 1/2 Learning Habits
Playing and having fun has never been a problem for me. I think that learning habit will be the easiest for me to implement. Beginning with the end in mind will pose more of a challenge for me. It has been my experience that many objectives have a completely different outcome than originally planned.
Thing 1-What Do You Want to Learn with Web 2.0?
I hope to learn more about blogging and become more comfortable with online posting. Creating and setting up a blog was relavtively easy.
