Week 5 Thing 10

I had fun with Letter James. They have a cool Paris information panel to customize. I could do it on the homepage but couldn't get it to work on the page where you can customize and save it. Can anyone help?

Also, created an avatar with yahoo. Now I just need to work on the challenge of posting that.

Week 4 Thing 9

I went to Topix.net and did a search on Kadir Nelson, my favorite ilustrator. 179 results came up. I found Topix.net easy to use and I liked that I could local news too.

Week 4 Thing 8

I think the Bloglines account is great. It will be so much easier to access one site to see new posts to all the sites I visit. I wasn't able to add 23 Things participants blogs. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.

Week 3 Thing 7

I think the e-books we have for kids on our library website are so fun. My daughter's class is going to have Mommy Day in May - moms can go in and tell about what they do. I'm planning on using a laptop to show all the kids how they can enjoy a Tumble book on their computer.

Week 3 Thing 6

I like the idea of using Flikr photos to make calendars. What a great gift idea!

Week 3 Thing 5

I love Flickr! My favorite picture is this one of the Communal Knitting Project in Reykjavik.

Week 2, Thing 3: Set Up Your Own Blog & Add Your First Post

This was much easier than I thought it would be. I might start posting to other blogs that I've been on.

Week 1, Thing 2: Pointers from Lifeling Learners

Some of the lifelong learning habits are easier for me than others. I love being able to teach people how to use our library resources and showing them all that is available to them here and from home on our website. It helps me use our resources better by teaching others about them.
I know the habit I have to work on the most on is play.

Week 1, Thing 1 : About this Program

I think that playing with technology will be lots of fun!

7 1/2 Lifeling Learning Habits

This is my first post to any blog.
The easiest lifelong learing habit for me is accepting responsibility for my own learning. I love learning new things so motivating myself to learn is easy.
The hardest habit is using technology to my own advantage. I know the technology is out there and when I do take the time to learn how to use it I do see the benefits. For me the problem is just taking the time to learn about the technology and how to use it. That's why I am looking froward to Learning 2.0.
