Week 3, Thing #5 Flickr


Waverunner!
Originally uploaded by CharlestonBelle
OK, it's been awhile, but I'm getting back into the swing of things. I don't want to sit down and explore these things until I have some time because, and it's SO true, I just spend hours and hours getting more entrenched and tangled up in web after web. So now I have been introduced to Flickr, set up an account, and have uploaded several photos and images. This particular image about sums up the way I feel somedays, and always makes me laugh! Flickr is extraordinarily easy, as well as fun. Unfortunately for me, I have never been much of a picture-taking person, and do not have much expertise, nor much of a photo album to post. Guess that might change relatively soon!

Week 2, Thing #3 Blogging!!

What fun! Who knew it could be so easy? So many things to think about...discussing books, alerting students to new materials, giving shout-outs to certain classes for a great class session....the possibilities are endless. I can't wait to experiment on my school webpage. And I have to admit that creating my avatar took more time than it really should have....it was like playing with Colorforms all over again! The more things change, the more they stay the same?

Week 1, Thing #2 7 1/2 Habits

The easiest habit for me is Habit 2, Accept Responsibility for Your Own Learning. I can do that rather nicely. However, Habit 4, Have Confidence in Yourself as a Competent Effective Learner? That's my downfall and always has been. I find I often need constant reassurances that I am doing things correctly -- I have difficulty trusting my own judgement. I'm working on it!!!!!

Week 1, Thing #1 Introduction

This looks like fun, and exactly what I need to to ratchet things up a notch. Now maybe I'll even be able to converse intelligently with my own kids!!
