Mashups

I think I'll go and mashup some potatoes...what? Wrong context?

I must admit that I feel a bit dumb with this lesson. The idea of blending information sounds wonderful and convenient, but I don't get all the techo-part of it. I'm also afraid that I might have erased someone else's information on the Project Play map, and I am sorry if I did--no malicious intentions!

I wish I could somehow start at the beginning and get well-versed in computer technology, but I tend to feel caught in midstream with not enough wits to go forward. I need a Computer 101!I am not sure how mashups can be used in the library, and I guess I count on all the wonderful gurus at Winnefox to lead the way in that area. I feel at such a disadvantage in this high tech world since I can't afford to be high tech in my personal life (much to my teenagers' chagrin), and my part-time status doesn't give me the time at work to really get into it. I certainly appreciate Project Play and the good overview that is given for each subject. I just wish I had the time and ability to feel like I really know what is going on. I feel like technology is developing so rapidly that I can't keep up with it, and I would rather be out in nature than in front of a computer screen.

Sorry if I sound like a whiner. You have developed a great class with Project Play, but it just has been a bit difficult to keep up this semester due to being busy with our programming. Because of your class, though, I will be open to new technologies and strive to learn them better. I will also view Web 2.0 as a chance to learn and grow, even if I grow a little slower than I would like.
