Podcasts

I felt like I finally jumped into the 21st century when I bought my iPhone last December. My other cell phone had internet and text capabilities, but the iPhone just made everything so much easier and fun. I never had a mp3 player or ipod before, so I had to learn how to download music and podcasts. It took several times to figure out how to remove tracks that I did not want anymore. I am still in the learning stages, so this afternoon will be very beneficial to me.

Wiki

This was definately a new learning experience for me. I think I will be able to use Wiki and Google docs for groups this years.

Flickr

I visited the Flickr website a year ago. I did not have any photos to share, so I did not use it. Today, I downloaded some common creative pictures of some of the places I have visited the past couple years. So, I invite you to go to Flicker and look at some of my past travel.

RSS

Today I broke another barrier by subscribing to several RSS feeds. I had seen the icon and knew that the information was frequestly updated. I never realized that I could subscribe to a site one time and skip the steps of searching for the latest information.

Favorite Travel Website

Here is the link to VacationsToGo.com, which is one of my favorite travel sites.

Travel Sites

Using Delicious I have booked marked some of the cruises that I have taken the past couple of years. My goal this year was to take a cruise to Northern Europe. There is still small chance I can take that cruise before school begins.

Larry's Goals

Although I spend a lot of time on the Internet, I have never blogged. Most of my time on the Internet is correspondence with friends and family, research on financial opportunities, and searching for potential travel opportunities.

My goals for the Web 2.0 workshop is to become comfortable writing something that others might read and to find other bloggers that may guide me in future travel plans.
