The brain plasticity - What is it?

Well, what is brain plasticity and what that has to do with me, or you or everyone? You better read 'The brain that changes itself' by Dr Norman Doidge. Form  there, I've learned enormously. Then I fine this video and it's worth your attention. There are many more. if you want to keep your brain younger and prevent Alzeimer, surely you'd like to know more about your brain.

Week 6 - Slide Shows, Screen Casting and Digital Story Telling

What interesting ? Screencasting and digital story telling. I didn't know about all those although I do slide shows from time to time and use it from some sources, such as google slide show and slideshow.

The good thing about screencasting and digital story telling is you can be a producer easily. The softwares are there and not hard to try. I'll make some screencasting by using my own writing and pictures in Christmas holdiay.

It should be fun.

Week 5 - Ning

I've joined Public library group at Ning. It hasn't taken high member yet.
First I heard about Ning was a while back. I looked up Mosman's online group and quite interested in it. I know by then that Ning is a social network that allows you to have a social network within Ning.
I always think Ning is pretty good for online reading group/book club. So Mosman library has provided an example.

After I've joined the public library group I find it's practically quite easy but it takes while for a group to get attention, same as some other library 2.0 groups. For a reading group probably mostly would be for middle or younger age population? not so sure. Because talking about age, I'm not that young either. So no bias.
I'll start a reading group on Ning next year for the library, promise myself - it's the plan!
One last word - I don't know how others to cope with the amount of information from amount of social networking. I struggle with my very limited time.
