Playing Tag #8

After setting up a Flickr account which was relatively easy, I uploaded 5 photos taken at my work location. I kept expecting the pictures to appear on Flickr the instant it was done and I was able to view them. That is not the case there is a delay involved, this is understandable. Now, it was time to figure out and understand Creative Commons and the choices listed. Some choices were very clear others were not so. So, I move on to the tagging of photos. By tagging them with key words my photos as well as others, are easy to search for and locate on Flickr. I do like working with pics, and thought this was a great feature.

Fun, Fun, Fun #7

This week has been spent having some fun with the information that has been presented. Also, it has been a time to explore new areas and play catch up with this course. When I have been involved with this, I have tried to be totally focused and committed to learning. At times, it has been very frustrating and that has been due largely to my lack of certain knowledge with computers, I have been working with this mostly on my own, and on my own time which has taken numerous hours. Never has there been lack of desire to finish this course.

Take Your Pick #6

It was interesting to see the many, many libraries involved with Learn 2.0 I am especially pleased that Maryland Libraries are participants. I am quite proud. You see, Maryland is my home state and a part of my heart still remains there. I am equally proud to be a part of the Orange County Library staff and be involved with this course. When I explored Trainco, Dogster and catser, I found that whether it's a site of common interest, or one with a supporting atmosphere having a common goal in mind, you can find other people with similar interests. There is a place for everyone.

Looking Back #5

This week I am spending looking back at previous lessons. Each time I do this, I learn something new and exciting, something that I missed, or over looked the first time. I enjoy working at home, at my own pace in the quiet of my own environment. This is the place, I can get my thoughts together and can concentrate to write. Initially, I didn't realize I would enjoy, learn something new with these lessons, and have fun at the same time. For learning to be receptive, I feel that new challenges must contain all these elements. Getting back to the first lesson, we concentrated on the fact that all learning is lifelong and never too late or early to start. Many times it takes a group or community of people with the same goal to be effective. It must be fun and at the same time stimulating with various degrees of difficulty. All of us, can learn but we learn differently and at different paces. This is what makes life interesting something new, and fresh, something to look forward to as you wake up each day.

YouTube starring OCLS #4

It's innovative to see the library on YouTube and MySpace. The world is at one's fingertips, and at the same time that you realize the enormous global aspects of the web, you also know that your individuality is still intact. You can be what you want to be.

Adventures in RSS #3

It's taken me this long to blog again and comment on this lession. I am truely amazed at the amount of information that can be streamlined at the touch of one's mouse. I am hanging in there and plan on finishing Learn 2.0 This is a great opportunity for learning new areas of communication.

Welcome to the Blog

I finally created my first blog. At first, since I was unsure it took some time, many false attempts, and the patience of some co-workers. Once I was started the steps were easy enough to follow.
