Week 5-Thing 10-Online Generator

Thing 10
I completed Thing 10, the Online Generator which was a lot of fun. I really liked the generator that I created so you will see the results of my work at the top of this page.

Week 5-Thing 12

Rollyo is interesting. It is nice to have the ability to put all your favorite sites into one "roll".http://www.rollyo.com/nellie/ The first roll that I created was for Reader's Advisory.

Week 5-Thing 11 Library Thing

This is wonderful. I don't know how much I will use all the "23 things" that I have learned in this program but I will definitely use Library Thing.

Week 4-Things 8 & 9

Busy at work and vacation kept me away from 23 Things. I am back now and so far have accomplished Things 1-9.

Things 8 & 9

I learned about the RSS feeds from Google and subscribed to some news feeds and health related feeds. MERLIN was interesting. There are so many resources available to us out there in cyberspace.

Week 3-Things 5,6 & 7

Things 5,6 & 7

Well I learned Flickr today. Flickr has some pretty neat offerings. I like the fact that you can search too. I uploaded some pictures including one of Sneaks. It will be interesting to see if anyone searches for him (or her).

I had some Flickr fun and looked at some mashups and 3rd party sites. I don't think I will personally use them though. I have a Kodak digital camera and use Kodak's ofoto.com site to upload and share my photos. I have been pretty successful with that site.

Week 1 and Week 2-Things 1,2,3,4

Thing 1

Learning Blog-Wow this is a whole new learning experience. A whole new world. I have viewed many blogs-especially with certain tv shows like Lost so I do understand this a little. Although a bit confusing I am catching on. Having the basic skills and having read all the information has really helped.

Another wow....I took my time and followed the directions and was able to pull up a picture of a pretty azaela bush from my backyard and put it in this blog. I did this from my home computer and was able to go into my program files and then into my photofile and got this picture. Neato......By the way one of my passions is my garden. Gardening is such a wonderful hobby...

Thing 2

Life Long Learners-

This is a very good exercise. It is based on Covey's 7 1/2 Habits. Learning is defined as acquiring a new skill or knowledge. Each person has their own learning style. Of the habits I particularly embrace are to view problems as challenges and have confidence in yourself as a competent effective learner.

Thing 3

I have set up my blog and you are seeing the results of my first post.

Thing 4

My blog is registered.
