23 Things Assignment #2

September 25, 2007

Here are two scenic photos - one of winter (which can be beautiful even though Canadians gripe about how long it lasts) and sunset - I recall the incredible beauty of many Florida sunsets that I have enjoyed.

The last photo speaks to one of my major interests - film. It's a still of the sheik, Rudolph Valentino from "Blood and Sand." I recently viewed 56 films at the Toronto International Film Festival and one of them was an Australian film, "Dr. Plonk," that was a hommage to silent film. Tiberius, a crafty Jack Russell terrier (portrayed by Reg the Dog) delivers an Academy Award winning performance who comes back in the time machine from the future with a trunk full of dog toys!.

23 Things Assignment #1

Hi Everyone!

My motivation for taking the 23 Things Assignment self-paced course is both personal and professional.

Personal:

As a librarian who graduated before PCs and the Internet existed, I need to catch up with Web 2.0 applications. Sure, I have some exposure - have worked with wikis and teach an

online course - but need to learn more of the practical stuff.


Professional:

I want to learn how to incorporate new technologies to more quickly share information about health-related issues and promote the services of the Consumer Health Information Service (based at the Toronto Public Library).
