Week 3 Photos & Images

Thing 5 I am currently looking at Flickr and taking the tour. I'm learning about the different ways to set up the photos - collections, sets and the organizr (I hate that they can't use correct language). It looks pretty simple to set the security level on the photos to prevent people from seeing your photos or to allow people to see your photos.

Personally, I'm a snapfish and shutterfly user when it comes to digital photos. With those programs you upload the photos and then send notice to those you want to share them with. The photos can never be seen by the public.

There are links all over Flickr. I feel like the page is one giant maze with about a billion places to turn. I'm forever clicking on the back button so I can go back to where I started. In some ways it is overwhelming.

I'm back on the desk, so I'll log off now.

Week Two Thing 4

Thus far I have set up my blog, viewed the pointers from lifelong learners, added my first post and added a few photos of Kermit the Frog, registered my blog and am attempting to track my progress.

Today I printed off the BCPL version of the MD 23 things so I can use it as a checklist. I was using the tracking log, but a co-worker told me ours was different and we didn't need to use it. So I'm going to try the BCPL version. ( I played with colors and fonts this week too ; )

Thing 2 - lifelong learning

I just finished watching the tutorial for 7 1/2 Habits of lifelong learning. I'd have to say one of my strongest is reading. I like to read to learn new things. I'm a visual learning though, so to really "get" what I'm trying to learn, it helps to see what I'm learning.

I also like having tools. I'm a scrapbooker and I have lots of tools to create my pages. From punches to cutters to fancy edged scissors to cool paints and markers - I have it all.
