Web 2.0 or, in my case...

Googlefest!!  This blog, not even a day old, is filled with easy-as-pie (mostly) Google based bells and whistles.  Not least, the blog itself.  Meta-blog, meta-google.  From the Reader, to the Blogger to Google Scholar, there are a ton of services to take the intimidation out of technology.  We learn about them in library school, and should learn to play with them, and learn with them in real life.

Wait.  The library is real life!!  I'm so relieved.

Just because I couldn't resist, I signed up for SpanishPod, which is a web program with beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons in Spanish.  I took a listen to one of the advanced lessons, and it is pretty good, giving good grammar review and explanations.  Better yet, it has really good listening practice, with a Spaniard and a Mexican speaking together to provide experience with accent, rhythm, and vocabulary.  Highly recommended, but with a caveat:  Spanishpod is not free, after the seven day trial, there is a charge.
