About Me

I am the Library Media Specialist for Saint Joseph Academy in Brownsville, Texas. I love my job and I love the people I work with, both faculty and students. Of course, I love to read lots of different types of books but I especially like to help my patrons find what they want to read and help them to learn how to find what they need in terms of information.

Nings, Thing 11

I joined the Ning called Spill. I thought this would be a fun one to join since it has to do with fun movie reviews. The site posts reviews in a comical fashion from embedded videos to their own creations. Their motto is "if it's crap, we'll tell you". Can't get anymore honest than that!

I was really hoping to find more of a definition of what a "ning" actually is. I understand the premise of the application but I was looking for more like the Common Craft explanation of how RSS feeds work in Plain English. Even on the Ning site, there is no explanation that I can see.

I did the Travel IQ part of the Discovery exercise and that was a lot of fun. One could spend a lot of time playing that game. I did the cities of Europe and did not get enough points to go on to the next level!! I was close, but no cigar. I really need to get more familiar with a European map now that everything has changed in Eastern Europe because that's mostly where I messed up.
