Thing 7 - Technology Interest

My daughter had her digital camera with her while we were on vacation in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer. She was able to post pictures to her Facebook account as well as print them out on her photo printer and put them in her album that she bought in the park. It turned out really nice. Digital cameras make sharing your photos so easy and the ability to select the ones you want and print them out in the size that you want is great.

Thing 5 & 6 - FlickR was very interesting. The trading card
idea was very interesting. I can see this being
used as a fun way for students to report on
authors, historical figures, scientists, etc.

Thing 4 - BLOG
My daughter and I recently drove from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles. We stopped to see the Hoover Dam and the water was so blue. It was beautiful. I wish we had seen some bighorn sheep but they were shy that day.

Lifelong Learning

Thing 2

Lifelong learning occurs whether we are prepared for it or not. Bring home a new baby and you learn fast how to do things. This is one example of a situation where even if you don't have experience you are forced to learn. Sometimes we plan to learn such as going back to school to take courses or joining an aerobics class. One area I need to look into exploring is giving back and teaching others outside of my job such as volunteering in my community.

Getting Started

After a very busy summer (my daughter moved to California) I am ready to start the course.
