Thing 21 - Create an iGoggle homepage

• Signed into iGoogle and added gadgets to homepage. An advantage to web 2 users as it brings tools together and creates a good home page.

Thing 20 - Play with Google Book search

• Found this to be a really useful tool. Great for overviews of books, and searching and viewing content. As Colin says great for an old or unusual topic and useful in my subject liaison role.

Thing 19 - Play with Google Docs

• I created a word and spreadsheet in Google Docs and exported one to my email account. Great for collaborative purposes and using documents on different computers. I think there will always be a place for Microsoft Office desktop suites, especially for people without internet access, but it is a great collaborative and practical tool.

Thing 18 - Play with Google Maps

• I found Rosebud campus and my home by typing the address in the search on Google Maps. Used the street icon for a closer view. I used "get directions" mode to plan a holiday, taking in the roads and times to get to destinations. I used the zoom, terrain and satellite features to get a closer look.
• Google maps was useful for practical applications and easy to use. I'm sure I will use it in the future
