   So many tools which can be used for creation and organization such as Wakelet, Anchor, Audacity, Linktree, Padlet, Flip, Canva and other tools seem to be something which can change the configuration fo the Library Scope and Services. 

      Session 3: Hands on- Web based tools for School Libraries    

 Very interesting and impressive tools which can change the dimension of the Library which I could learn were Soundcloud (audio curating tool) These tools can change the way we live in by changing so much of the way we accumulate information and accept the differenet forms of information. This also creates enthusiasm and interest among user communities to go through the pages of their Library. The spot on facility which can be used to link all the audio files of a playlist in single go is something amazing.

Session 4: Hands on- Web based tools for School Libraries

    Linktree which I was heard but couldn't get chance to know it was another amazing tool whcih can be made to look like any Library app for our Library was another amazing tool to know about the web based tools for Library. We can give so many links at one place so that all things can be merged or collected in one place for the users advantage is something I could amaze at.

Session 2: Balancing our life and work ethics

This interactive session by Shri Tarun Goyal Goyal gave lots of inputs on how to balance our work and life. The gist of the session was we should live for ourselves and we should live in accordance with nature. We should also have to care for our nature and we should live according to the law of the nature. Change is the nature of life but, we have to change by coordinating with the nature. One cannot do two tasks at a time and that is not our nature to do different tasks at a time. Multitasking is different concept and we have to prioritize our goals while multitasking.
