Discovery Exercise
Week 10
Exercise 23
Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...



Istar Questions:

iSTAR: What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

E39BMW: Discovery Exercise 7 Week 3 was one that I enjoyed. Photo editing tools that once I thought never existed brought me back to my creative side. And Discovery Exercise 18 Week 8 reinforced my creative side while visiting the Treadless community on-line.

iSTAR: How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

E39BMW: It's a major step that HCPL has taken in adapting The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County's 23 Things Learning 2.0 Program. I believed I'm one of many that has experience a breakthrough in lifelong learning goals that will be useful in the near future.

iSTAR: Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

E39BMW: One unexpected outcome would be that I never thought I make myself an Avatar.

iSTAR: What ideas do you have for using these technologies at Harris County Public Library?

E39BMW: The program will allow branches to communicate more effectively through media presentations during HCPL's Annual Award Ceremony.

iSTAR: What else do you want to learn about? What other web 2.0 applications are you interested in?

E39BMW: I feel that the poster generator software should be available to be incorporated.

MP3 vs iPOD

Discovery Exercise
Week 9
Exercise 22
Downloadable Media

It's very innovative what LibriVox has achieved by providing free audiobooks from the public domain. This ingenue idea allows volunteers to read and record chapters of books and publish the audio files on the Internet.

My only pet peeve is that LibriVox, Wowio and HPCL's eAudiobooks, music and videos are NOT compatible with iPods or MACs.

Podcasts, Smodcasts!

Since I own an Ipod, Apple's Itunes offers a wide selection of podcast.

And that's NPR; hope you EnJOY !!!

My favorite Hindi song is from the Bollywood movie "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge"

TUJHE DEKHA TO -Lyrics
Chorus:
tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam
When I saw you, I understood this, sweetheart:
pyaar hota hai diivaana sanam
love is madness, sweetheart.
tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam
When I say you, I understood this, sweetheart:
ab yahaa.n se kahaa.n jaae.n ham
Now where do we go from here?
terii baaho.n me.n mar jaae.n ham
May I die in this embrace!

aa.nkhe.n merii sapane tere
They’re my eyes, but the dreams in them are yours.
dil mera yaade.n terii
It’s my heart, but it houses your memories.
meraa hai kya, sab kuchh teraa
What’s left to me? Everything is yours.
jaan terii saa.nse.n terii
My life is yours, my very breath is yours.
merii aa.nkho.n me.n aa.nsuu tere aa ga'e
My eyes filled with your tears;
muskuraane lage saare gam
all my cares began to smile.

Chorus

yeh dil kahii.n lagtaa nahii.n
This heart won't take anywhere else.
kya kahuu.n mai.n kya karuu.n
What shall I say, what shall I do?
haa.n tuu saamane baiTHii rahe
Yes, stay seated before me,
mai.n tujhe dekhaa karuu.n
so I might look at you always!
tuu ne aavaaz dii dekh mai.n aa ga’ii
You called, and look, I came.
pyaar se hai baDii kya kasam
What oath is greater than love? (i.e., What obligation takes precedence over love?)

Chorus

Mad Word -Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World ...
