#3 Week 2 #5 Week 3

Having a really bad morning. I spent the last hour reading about Flickr and tried to import a picture with no luck so I decided to go back to my blog and work on another avatar. Well some how I deleted my original avatar and only my daughters avatar is showing. When I went back to recreate my original and went to my blog to add it the "Choose a new page element" that had disappeared. I think I need my daughter or son to sit with me through this course because at this point I am too frustrated and not getting anything out of it. My son is home from Penn State in July so I might put everything off until then. Sorry!

Thank you Cortney, my daughters back from California and ended my frustration. she transfered my avatar. (Thank goodness for teenagers.) Now I can move on to the next assignment, I sure hope it's a lot easier. I have a lot to learn.
Well I take that back about the time change, it's still California time.

No Avatar

Well the avatar thing is not working out. I've can't get around the exporting thing. I'll try a few more times before I move on.

I see the time changed from Pacific to Eastern. Well back to the avatar, hopefully she'll be on next time I write a post.

Week 1 #2 Lifelong Learning Habits

7 &1/2 Habits

Easiest: PLAY,PLAY,and more PLAY! I went from being a physed teacher to a librarian. Needless to say I do not have a "quiet" library, I get more enjoyment out of the fact that kids in my middle school are now actually coming into the library. If you make it fun they will come.

Hardest: Using technology to my advantage. I just finished my third year as the school librarian. When I took over the library we had 4 computers, we now have 11 and two wireless laptop carts. I feel that my weakness is the technology piece, that is why I signed up for this course. I am looking to learn a lot and incorporate a lot into my upcoming school year.

Overcome frustration

Yeah, I found the answer myself. I changed the time to post at 8:10 am so I am assuming it is not Eastern time. I'll have to wait and see what happens in three hours.

Week 1 Frustration

OK, my first frustration with technology. I am writing down these posts but when I go back to my blog they are not listed. I am sitting here trying to open everything but I can't seem to find the correct buttons to press. My daughter returns from California tonight so I'll be asking her tomorrow if I can't find the answer today.
