Week 3 Thing 8 - Technology

As my children are aware, I am not technology savy. I have trouble when there is more than one remote connected to the TV and the various other things we have (Wii, DVD, Videorecorder.....). We do have a computer that has access to the internet; dial up access though (and it's not working right now) . I cannot operate a digital camera. We do have one; I am not allowed to touch it... I do not have a cell phone; my kids do.... I am not allowed to touch their phones either! I do not have an IPod; the rest of my family each has one......Do you see a pattern emerging here? At some point in time I will change this but life is interferring right now. Oh well.....

Week 3 Thing 7

Hey, I did it. See. I designed my own trading card with no help either. "I am patting myself on the back for this one" Can't you tell? The possibilities of this type of thing are endless and I could so lose track of time here

Week 3 Thing 6

As a teenager, my goal was to go on a trip to Australia with my girlfriend on our 21st birthdays. Never did get there but still want to go one day. The link below is for the image I chose to represent my trip of a lifetime.....one day....

Week 2 Thing 5 - Things I have learned

Well - I have learned how to create a Blog. I never thought I would do something like it; but I am glad I did. The 7 1/2 Habits tutorial was interesting as was Pickering Public Library's Smashup clip. The "Blogging" is going to take some practice but I did actually find out (just now) how to change the Blog's template as I had a little trouble in the beginning with that (and I did not like my first choice!). Now to figure out how to place this in the Tracking Log.......

7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

After viewing the 7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits I have decided that the easiest habit for me is the fourth listing - Have confidence as a competent learner. I have, can and will continue to learn all of my life. Life and learning go hand in hand. The hardest habit will be, for me, the sixth listing - Using technolgy to advantage. It's not that I am afraid of it, it is just that I am unsure of some of the technology and need to practice with it. I do not have access to some of the "new things" out there. I do not have a cell phone, Ipod, MP3 player, Blackberry, etc. I have never used Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This is going to be an interesting experience and I am looking forward to it.....(I think).

New to Blogging

As I have never done this before, I am finding this as interesting as it is confusing. Hopefully with practice it will be easier to do and navigate. I am interested in finding out the why's and wherefore's of this new technology (new to me anyway) so that I understand what my kids talk about as well as co-workers. Well, here goes folks.
