Thing #7

This has been my favorite part so far... I spent a long time setting up our family calendar. I think it will be great! Now, my husband and I can add items as they arise from work. It will be a great way to keep everyone informed and on schedule. I had previously used google earth and had heard about google alert but the other areas were new to me. I enjoyed all of the areas and can see me using them in both my personal and in my classroom.

Thing #6

I learned a new term today: mashups. This has truly been a learning experience. I love pictures so I'm very interested but I am concerned about my personal information being out on the web. If I shared photos or created cards, I would want it to not include my face for security purposes. Its cool though because I like the puzzles, mosaic maker and other options. I think they would make cool gifts too.

Exploring

I've been exploring other blogs. Its become a game because I know other SBISD employees who are playing/ learning this summer but I'm not sure what their blog names or addresses are so I'm made a game out of guessing if I know the person from the blog or not.

Thing #5

I had lots of fun with flickr. This activity was easier than the previous step but it did take me a couple of minutes on how to apply the pictures to the blog. I want to thank you for encouraging me to dream and plan my future goals.

Thing #3

Wow! This step took some time and soul searching. I like the definition of a blog being an interactive journal. I learned alot about blogs since when I started I knew nothing! I was glad that I had a friend and neighbor who encouraged me through all of these mini steps. I've set up a gmail account, created an avator that resembles my blog title and have started blogging!!

Thing #2

The easiest habit for me are to develop goals that relate to my family or my career. It is much harder for me to develop personal long term goals.

The hardest habits would be to remember to play & have fun and to have confidence and sometimes to view problems as challenges to be conquered.
