Warholizer

I have taken time to explore the flickr extras. I found this toy in my explorations, I have always loved Warhol art. I have spent a long time experimenting with photos of family. I really liked alot of the options in fd's Flickr toys and could see some great classroom uses with older students - album covers, posters, captioner. Peter informs me that I can actually already do this using the features on my mac. He is a bigger fan of mac's than myself :)

I did it.

Well this one was a bit tougher. It took me some navigating to really get the hang of the thing. I'll be interested to hear my colleague's ideas about the use of flickr in education. I will continue to play later as I am still interested in the other flickr features.

I have signed up with flickr and am experimenting. Hopefully this photo is sent to my blog along with this message.

Deleting

At Monday's session a question was asked about deleting unwanted blogs. In blogger, when you are viewing your blog you can click on customize-settings-delete your blog.

71/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

We often use that term "lifelong learners" when discussing our teaching goals, it is interesting to have it summarised into categories. There are several that I would find easier for me than others.
The habits I identified with were 'beginning with the end in mind' as I like to have reasons and know why, I like to know where I am headed. Specific to technology- Habit No. 7 1/2 'Play' is the easiest for me, I definitely learn by doing and most of my skills in technology have been learnt through trial and error and help from others along the way.
The hardest habit for me is viewing problems as challenges. I think it is hard to view every challenge as a learning experience.

My first post

I have created my new blog on blogger, and spent some time fiddling with the settings. I can't seem to insert a photo to change the page elements. I am trying to use an existing photo from my computer. Will continue to play.
