Thing 5 - Flickr

This is a neat website for shutterbugs! It is fun to see pictures other people have taken. I loaded several photos, and it was very fast! The tag feature is neat because you can view pictures of subjects you are interested in quickly. The baby tag is cute! I like the social aspect of the website, too. If you join a group then you can discuss your shared interest in photography as well as other topics. I looked at the library groups, and there are some great photos there! When I go to set up my library, it will be a great pool of ideas. I like the 365 project. What a wonderful idea of how to document what goes on in libraries on a day to day basis.
I think I will still use Snapfish to upload and order prints from because I like how the photos can be organized in albums. I like sharing with my friends and family on the site, too. For now, I will just experiment with Flickr and see what it's all about.

Thing 3 - Blog and Avatar

I have wanted to set up a blog for awhile now, so I'm glad this challenge forced me to do it. It's easier than I thought it would be! I had fun playing with my Avatar, too! I had never heard of it before, but like what I created. It will be fun to play with all the options as the seasons, as well as other things, change.

Thing 2 - 7 1/2 Habits

Being a life long learner is an important part of being an educator, and I enjoyed the opportunity to reflect on what successful learners do. I could probably grow stronger in each of the habits shown, but the one that is easiest for me right now is being a confident learner. I truly enjoy learning new things and I know that when I put my mind to something I will do a good job at it. The habit I think is the hardest for me right now is setting goals. I often bite off more than I can chew, and it's hard for me to break things down into attainable parts. Luckily that is one of my husband's strong points and he helps focus me on what is at hand. I have so much to learn from him in that area. :)
