Week 5 Thing 12: Rollyo

I don't think I will ever use this, I would rather use google, although I can understand why someone would want to personalize a search engine, might be simpler.

Week 5 Thing 11: LibraryThing

I like to read and these are some of my favorite books. I found it interesting to see how many other people liked the same books. Not Many.

Week 5 Thing 10: Play Week

Ok! This was alot of fun but I was very disappointed that I could not post my yahoo avatar to my blog. I'm sure you all would have liked to have seen my pink mohawk roman soldier with pet monkey down on the farm!!!! I could not find the download page and ended up getting frustrated. I didn't delete it though, I am going to try again later. Help me Jennifer or Lisa! If you have read my blog you will see that I did finally get my avatar to post. I admit I called Jennifer for help - she said she would be able to come Monday. Over the weekend I really wanted to try annd accomplish it myself. Guess what? If you take your time, focus, and read you can do it. Jennifer came Monday, I had an avatar to show her, although I couldn't get the sword or the monkey to move. Thanks, Jennifer.

Week 4 Thing 9: Merlin RSS

The easiest way to set up a feed for a particular site, for me, was to scroll down and look for the sites RSS button.

Week 4 Thing 8: Rss & Newsreaders

This was pretty easy because we already had to set one up within our library system. I am looking forward to reading the new feeds I picked, especially the Onion.

Week 3 Thing 7: Technology and me?

I'm better suited for a record room, legal pad and research. I am determined to get better. What I have found to be cool is I can get direction and help from my son even if he is not here. He can use his computer to correct my computer. I know I am not explaining my thoughts correctly but it was cool. Also, I saw a cartoon the other day that showed that the I Phone has a direct link to God.

Week 3 Thing 6: Mashups

This was fun to do but I don't know how people have so much time on their hands to do this kind of thing all the time.

Week 3 Thing 5: Flickr

This was an interesting web site but I needed help from my son to negotiate it. I thought he would like to strangle me. "Pick an object" he said, I just stared at him. "Snowman" I said, "Fine type it in there Mother" I did and I found this one and it made us laugh.

Week 2 Thing 4: Register and Track

Reading is fundamental, did not need to make unnecessary trip in car.

Week 2 Thing 3: Create your own blog

Drove myself crazy coming up with a name. But I did it!!!!

Week 1 Thing 2: Lifelong Learning

Your whole life is a learning experience. Common sense prevails.

Week 1 Thing 1 About This Program

Somebody spent alot of time putting this program together.

Frustration

Easiest habit is accept responsibility for my own learning. I like to learn. Hardest habit is to use technology to my advantage. Eventually I will be come more comfortable with use.
