Week 4 RSS & Newsreaders

http://www.bloglines.com/public/USERNAME

Again, I am finding all of this very overwhelming.

There is just too, too much. I cant absorb it all.

I follow the directions and do what I am told but without direction I cant remember what to do.

I think it is a neat concept to make everything you are interested in readily available.

The library could use this to keep all of their sites needed for research easy to access.

The simplest methods are the easiest for me. I like having what I need right there and all I have to do is click on it.

I like reading other peoples suggestions for finding and setting up news sites.

All of this seems to be very time consuming to me. I dont have this much time in my life to spend on the computer.

Since I am a part-time library employee, I have to work on these 23 things on my own time. I am spending hours on the computer.

Week 3

Flickr

I signed up for flickr. I posted some pictures.

I thought the making of trading cards was VERY neat.

I can follow the directions and the links and do these things

but I cannot remember how to do them.

I need to be talked through it, at least in writing.

There is so much out there, it is very intimidating to me.

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Week 2

Obviously, I was able to set up my own blog.

I was also successful in registering it.

Now I am using it to track my progress.

Week 1

I read about the program and learned about Lifetime Learning.

The habits of lifetime learners was helpful to me.

I have trouble with self-discipline so using these tips and following through with this project to the end is my goal.

I have just started introducing play into my life.

This whole project is definitely a challenge for me.

All of this new technology is scary to me.

My first blog

Well, here it is. I got this far. I actually have a blog.

If this continues, I will be so much more technologically with it.

So far, I only know how to do e-mail, chatting, and searching the internet especially for shopping purposes.
