After Lunch - Exploration Exercise
We're covering a limited selection of basic tools in class today - there are so many more! This is your time to explore a new tool of your own choosing. Pick something that interests you! It doesn't have to be something of use to your library!
- Pick a tool from the list below, test something that you've heard of but haven't had time to try, or pick something from one of the directories above.
- Sign up for an account if you need to/want to. Or just explore the tool to see what it has to offer.
- Think about how you might use it in your work or personal life.
- Share your thoughts wih the class by posting your comments on the class blog.
