Today I learned about Audioboo. So easy!!!!!
I made an audioboo with directions for students on ordering an official transcript (I've posted it below). I could see using this to create answers to many of the frequently asked questions and posting them on the counseling website. What a great tool!

Today I switched over to Goodreads for my book cataloguing because Goodreads has an app for the IPad and Shelfari does not. It's great to be able to access my list of books on my IPad!!
And, the Goodreads app has a barcode scanner (which doesn't work great - but for those books that it works on it's a time saver!!) for entering your books quickly - cool!

Today I learned about several book cataloguing sites and, ultimately set up an account on Shelfari. I can see great use for this for myself in that I currently carry around a typed list of all of the books that I've read by my favorite authors in my purse so that I don't accidentally buy the same book twice! I have shrunk my list down to the smallest font that I can and I'm still out of room on the page, so having a list online would be great! It will, however, take a great amount of time to add all of the books that I've read into my account....but it might very well be time well spent!
I'm not sure how much I would use this site for work, but I'm definitely glad that I learned about it for my personal use! :)
