Thing 7: The Scanner & You

Scanned a photo of a person repelling beside a waterfall in Hawaii at night, then attached it to an e-mail sent to oclwebthings@gmail.com

Thing 6 - Horton

Horton presides over the children's area with a devilish smile. I wonder what he's thinking about.

I had a problem uploading Horton from Flikr to Blogger. His url at Flikr is http://www.flickr.com/photos/24974965@N08/2368636175/in/photostream/ but when I used Blogger's photo upload tool I get a box but no picture appears. This photo is from the saved file on the computer.

Thing 5-Flickr-Glacier National Park

I love to travel and to be outdoors, so I have been trying to visit
as many national parks as I can. Glacier National Park is next on
my list. I sure wish I was there now.

Thing 3 - Lifelong Learning Habits

I always thought that I wasn't a "technology" person, so I was shocked when I realized how much technology I use each day. Last week I was on my way to see a show in Red Bank and I started laughing about all the technology that I was using. To start I had ordered my tickets and chosen my seats on line. A web search gave me a list of dining options. I went on mapquest to get the directions to the theatre. Since I'm really good at getting lost, I also brought along my GPS programmed to my destination. Driving up the parkway I plugged my ipod into my stereo and enjoyed a playlist of favorites. I was even able to avoid the toll booths by using my EZ pass.

So when I looked through the list of Lifelong Learning habits I decided that habit #6-Use technology to your advantage-was my easiest. The technology just kind of sneaks into your life, making things easier. It also helps to have 2 teenagers in the house. My 15 year old just got me to start texting!

My hardest habit would be #5-Creating your own learning toolbar. I tend to do things quickly, so taking the time to get completely organized before I start can be tough.

First Time Blog

Wow-my first ever blog-and so easy to set up. Hoping the rest of the challenge goes this smoothly.
