Thing 12 -Rollyo

See my new Rolly. I'm still a little unsure whether this will help me or not. I can see possibilities for helping people get questions answered from a particular site I like. But the few searches I tried using the pre-selected ones didn't return enough information for me. Guess I'll need more practice.

Thing 10 -Stayed up WAY TOO late doing my things

In trying to catch up, I stayed up way too late doing my Things. I am really excited about the generators, can't believe how many cool things there were. I'd love to do a class with some of the secretaries on these!! I almost woke my husband up to show him!!! I think too of my own children's interests and want to show them what I'm learning. I may have to set up a "home-school" class.

Thing 11 - Library Thing

Neat place to find book reviews. Lots of interesting comments. It would be really neat to catalog my books and share with my sisters so that we didn't duplicate our purchases.

Thing 9 - Finding feeds

I was trying to find feeds that were relevant to what I do, but seemed to get lost. I actually found it easier to simply go to the website I knew and find the rss symbol and use it to add feeds.

Unfortunately, there is so much out there I don't know exists this defeats the purpose. I will try to add excel and powerschool feeds to my site.

Thing 8 New Feeds

This was a lot of fun. I wish I had seen it sooner. I am still working on how to make it public, but now that I have a spot to go for all my favorite updates, I don't have to do quite so many clicks.

I added Dictionary of the Day feeds to my blog spot. One of my favorite things to do is learn new words.

Week 2, Things 4-7 Technology

I've really been enjoying digital cameras. Between scanning old photographs and downloading new, I've had a lot of fun. Now that I know about Flicka, there's even more I can do with family and friends who live so far from me.

I also get to do some scrapbooking without all the shopping using the mashups and third party sites.

I managed to locate a picture of the mountains of WV using the tag of the name of the town, and linked the picture to my blogspot. How cool is that.
