#11 LibraryThing

This was interesting. Setting up an account was easy and posting books simple. The biggest difficulty is if you try to find a particular book which has had dozens of reprints! 1,000's of versions and trying to find the one you have can be a time consuming and almost impossible task - a needle in a haystack.

The advantages of this are that you can build up a profile of your books and this enables you to document what you have to refer to away from home. It let's you become part of a community if you desire it and can give opportunity to explore more books of a related topic, field, style ....

In a classroom situation this would not be very useful to me, but potentially privately it could be.

#10 On Line Image Generators

While it was fun to work with, I found it difficult to create things and then post them into my blog. I find the Adobe Creative Suite a little easier to use as it is constantly able to be used, rather than having to wait until I am on line. It seems to be more reliable.

The fun nature of working in the Online Generators is good and the students I'm sure would have more success.

I was looking on the Web for the artist who taught me how to do the Polychromatic Silk Screen Printing that I mentioned in my initial blogging entries and found a site that had some of his work. This is a work by the artist Anthony Syndicas. I met him first when I was in Year 11 as an artist-in-residence at my school CCEGGS. If you are interested in seeing some of his other work or that of his daugher, Diahann Syndicas, or photographer brother Alexander Syndikas, you can go to the following URL: http://www.archsign.com.au/asg-online-gallery.html . Hope you enjoy their work if you do choose to take a look. I might post some of my own work at some stage too!
