Flickr

Just Hanging Around is the photo I've chosen. I found this photo under the 'Blue' tag in explore by scrolling through the photos until I came across this one. There were some amazing photos and some very unusual. This one from Immagina is a bit of fun.

RSS Feeds

I have just completed Thing 5 and 6, tasks related to RSS feeds. I found the Palinet tutorial a bit hard to follow as an introduction, probably because the whole thing about feeds was so totally new to me. I couldn't access the CNet RSS Introduction video for some reason. The information on Google Reader was easy to understand and it was straight forward to set up in my google account. I wasn't able to find the RSS feeder symbol on any sites I would regularly look at so most of the sites I have subscribed to were found through searching with Google Reader. It was easy to search for sites but very time consuming. I subscribed to the ABC news: Top Stories so I could get regular items sent. Have also added some library related blogs, quilting blogs and the Nhulunbuy Community Library Wicked blog. Have had some fun with this.

7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits

I enjoyed the presentation of the lifelong learning habits. The first habit, begin with the end in mind, and the second, accept responsibility for your own learning, I would see as the easiest habits. Habit six, use technology to your advantage is something that I have to work on. It has taken me longer than it should to get through the first few Things, creating this blog was a big step for me. I am learning and I 'm keen to keep going.

First Post

This is a blog to record my progress with learning to use web 2.0 tools.
Just creating this blog as been an exercise. It took over a week for me to pluck up the courage to actually do it.
