Thing #9 Technology

This sounds really simple for people that are computer literate, but I really have never worked with pictures and digital cameras. I also continue to use the same commands on EXCEL and MICROSOFT. So for me, I took this time to compose emails and sent them with a photo attachment. I also needed to make a library pass for a teacher; I never have done this on my own. The template was alread made before by someone else. I used the drawing function. I am always being interrupted at work by students or teachers that I am unable to spend time on the computer getting better at the programs

Thing #10 Still working with phots

A wonderful part of the family. Buster has been with us for 12 years.
I love knowing that I am able to get photos from a digital camera. Prior to this class, I was unable to use a ditigal camera; let alone downloading the pictures and posting them.

Thing #8 Library Thing

I went to Library Thing and decided to register. This is something that would be really appealing to me. I have a way of reading books and forgetting that I read them. I often have times when I am reading a book and I think to myself "this book seems familiar". If I would use this tool, it would allow me to keep track and maybe even leave notes.

Thing #7 Tagging & Social Bookmarking

I have went and explored the various aspect of del.icio.us/. I must be frank and state that I am tired of having to register for all of these sites. I did the screen about using del.icio.us./; this gave me a tutorial about the tagging and bookmarkings. I stopped at getting my own account. I do not know if this is something that I would use often.

Posting #6 Share FunPix (Skyline Band 05/07)

When I looked at some other blogs from the group, I noticed that a few had a photo from "slide my space". I really liked it, so I added one of my fun.

Thing #6 Photo Generator

I have played around with various generators. I can see why the kids think this is fun. I was really intrigued with a snowglobe generator too. Hope this works as well as I think it will

Update on Thing #5 Flicker

I have spent two hours on the computer dealing with downloading pictures in Flickr. I am frustrated and unable to link it to my blog. I also tried a picture from my computer and it did not show up.

Postscript: I went back after an hour break, was able to get a photo attched to my blog. I will still be attempting to find out my error with FLICKR.

Thing #5 Discover Flicker

It is Wednesday night and I am sitting down to the computer for the first time since last week's class. I was so positive that all I would have to do is add new photos. Once again, I have forgotten everything. I feel so embarrassed about how far behind I am in this class. I can not even remember how to do this. Help!
