Thing 10 -- Working with photos


As I was walking around the library I starting realizing the kind of world we're living in right now. Students were sitting at the computers working on powerpoints, surfing the web, doing current events etc. Most of them were listening to their iPods which amaze me because some of them can hold thousands of songs or movies. last summer I did get a little more technology advanced and moved up from my CD player to a shuffle which is similiar to the iPod but doesn't hold near as many songs. That's ok because I'm completely happy with what I have for the time being and it does hold most my favorite George tunes. I'm sure in time I will advance. I also became addicted to my new digital camera that I got for Christmas. My kids are hoping I'm better at using this then the old fashion camera that I have about 100 + rolls of undeveloped film. It's a slow process but when I look at what we all have done so far in our class (thanks to Myra) it amazes me that I've came this far with so much more to go. :)

Thing #9 Technology


When we first started this I had no idea what was in store for us and what we would be doing. This thing called technology is great. I do want to know can you ever comprehend everything that the world wide web has to offer? I found a great little poem that I hope I don't offend anyone by but I thought it would be neat to incorporate it into "technology". Well, scrape that because I can't figure out how to do it. I thought I would try to make it scroll like on our Library media clerks website. I'll figure it out yet.

Thing 8 -- Library thing

I really like this tool. I input my favorite books and wala they they were. The only problem is trying to figure out how to do a Library Thing chiclet. I ended up with an error and deleted it. I'd really like to figure out how to do this.....oh Myra!!

Practice funny

This is just a little practice funny!

Thing 7 -- Tagging & Social Bookmarking

Ok! I'm really lost. Part of my problem is I haven't been playing with it since class last Wednesday. I was lost in class too. I did get into Del.icio.us and played with that but I couldn't figure out how to do network badges. I'm hoping we take some time on Wednesday and do some reviewing. So on to the next thing!

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more

Thing #6 -- Image Generators


This one was really frustrating for me. I did like using ImageChef though. I think it was the easiest. I do better being shown how to do something rather then trying to figure it out myself. It takes way too long to do that. Not having class last week gave us more time to play around.

I'm trying....

I've been doing a lot of playing around with this. I'm getting better but I do have some questions. I have a hard time sitting at the computer for very long but the more things work for me the longer I can sit and play around.
