Bloglines

Learning how to do RSS feeds? Well anyway, I think I got it. I went to Bloglines and made a feed list, but I wasn't sure how to get that list to my blog, or if it works that way? I think this would be great at home to have a list pretaining to weather and gardening since I like to keep my finger on both.
I think there's probably a lot of people in the library that already use this for researching questions from patrons. I would think this would save alot of key strokes and time.
I also subscribed to others blogs and thats really cool.

Well, technology for me has changed how I communicate, how I spend free time, how I work.
I can remember when everything was hand written or typed on a typewriter. I worked at a gas station that didn't even have a cash register that was electric.

I appreciate the convenience and speed of contacting friends in Texas or getting a map to a gathering I want to attend. When my mom was sick, I found a lot of information about her illness. I love having a digital camera, snap the picture and no waiting to see the results.

I have to admit that I have become computer dependent for certain things. I think in some ways
that's a good thing and then sometimes I feel totally frustrated with program problems and
fear of virus's. I am looking forward to having my own MP3 player to experiment with.
Like everything that changes it has it's pros and cons. Just my thoughts, Joan

My trading card. I sent this to my documents, under my pictures and uploaded it from there. I'm so proud of myself. Joan

Week 3

Well, I found the instructions for this exercise easy to follow. I did not have a easy time uploading my pictures, because I was'nt paying attention.
I did try the Flickr fun tools, and created my own trading card, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to my blog. I don't know if I'm missing something or not. Joan

Week 1

I watched and I listened (to the video) and I have to say the hardest thing on that list of 71/2 Things is gonna be using technology and the easiest will be excepting responsibility for my own learning.

My Goals:
To have more confidence in finding what I'm looking for on the net.
To be able to download music and photos without fear.
To have fun with this.

Life Long Learning 2.0

Well, I have to admit I've been a life long learner my whole existence. I think it will be interesting, discovering new avenues of learning. I'm excited to find out how to do downloads of music and photos. I'm ready.

Today

I'm really not very good at writing or sharing my thoughts with strangers, so I find this somewhat akward. I do much better sharing one on one. I guess this is a great way for me to grow and experience an unkown. Later
