Thing #7

It is amazing the amount of things that can be done online. Today, I used google calendar to record some of my summer plans. It seems pretty easy. I am used to writing everything down in a calendar that I carry around with me. It is a nice tool to use to send agenda to family or friends that might need to know my whereabouts. I am not sure how practicle it would be for me to use on a daily basis simply because it would require spending more time on the computer.
Right now it seems less time consuming to just write it down. I also, played around alittle on Google Doc.'s which seems very helpful for creating, collaborating and sharing different kinds of documents. I think this is great for both educators and students working together on projects.
I will definetly spend more time exploring this tool.
Have a great evening!!!

Avatar Thing #3

Thanks for helping with Avatar,

This was actually the most difficult activity so far. It took me awhile to figure how to save. It was fun to make selections.

Now you can put a face with the name.

Thing 6

It's me again! Although, I am not a librarian. I can see the advantages of the flickr services in the classroom. I think it allows for more creativity and is more engaging for students than traditional research papers. Students have a variety of choices in presenting their projects. I can see it being even more enjoyable for parents helping their kids with homework. Take a look at my trading card and magazine cover that were inspired by my first exploration of photo search on flickr.

Thing 5 summer escape

Good evening nature lover's,

After a long tiring day, I wasn't looking forward to getting on the computer and doing my next activity. However, it didn't take me long to find a picture that was calming. The moose creek swimming hole immediately caught my eye. As I finish up my working summer and have been searching for a getaway a place like moose creek is exactly what I'm looking for.

Hello Again,

Habits

Hello Fellow Bloggers,
This is my first official post. I am excited to be participating in library2play. One of the habits that I hope to gain during this technology experience is viewing problems as challenges. I get easily frustrated with technology but fourtunatly one of my good habits is creating my toolbox. I seek out resources and people that help me be successful. I will probably drive my husband and son crazy by the time this is over.
