Week 3 Thing 7

I know this seems like a minor thing but it made me sooo happy! I have been using text messages for quite awhile. I had to learn out of necessity! My kids would text message me. What message were they sending me?? So...I learned how to open them up and how to send them. But it always bothered me. I would type everything in lower case letters. It drove me crazy! Ask my kids. Spelling, grammar and punctuation have always been one of my vices. So, I finally took the time to figure out how to capitalize my letters! And it was sooo easy! For those of you who don't know...there is a shift key just like on the keyboard! Success! :-)

Week 3 Thing 6 Flickr Mashups and 3rd Party Sites

I had a lot of fun playing around with Flickr Mashups! Do you remember Andy Warhol?? As you can see, I also Warholized a picture of my black lab, Laxie and me. Pretty cool! I also played around with Color Pickr. My favorite color is blue so I had to look at those pictures first. But it was fun looking at purple and yellow and red too! One of my favorite things to do was play Guess the Title. The longer I played, the better I became! I better watch out though...this game could become addictive!!!

Week 3 Thing 5 Figuring Out Flickr

I had a lot of fun on this site! There were so many different things to try out. It was easy to navigate around. I posted a few pictures of my dog and my one year old granddaughter.

Week 2 Thing 4

I registered my blog and have begun tracking my progress on the tracking log! Woohoo!

Week 2 Thing 3

My blog has been set up and my first post has been added!

Week 1 Thing 2

71/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners
I think it was a good reminder that "it is never too soon or too late for learning". I believe having a behavioral background makes "Viewing problems as challenges" easy for me. I tend to look at problems as challenges and break them down into steps needed to reach my goal. I'm even good at giving myself a reward as reinforcement!!!! "Using technology to your advantage" is more difficult for me. If I don't use it often enough in my daily life that it becomes easy for me, I tend to not use it at all. So the challenge for me will be to try to make the time to use what I have learned, and to use it to my advantage!

Week 1 Thing 1

I have to admit, I have only had exposure to some technology. My cell phone is always with me (perhaps I should detch from it a little more), I can text message with the best of them and send instant messages in a flash. And with my digital camera, I can delete those pictures where I chopped off someone's head. But blogging, flickr and podcasts are new to me...23 Things is pushing me into new unexplored territory...and while I may be chewing my nails along the way....technology here I come!!!!
