thing 5- flickr discovery exercizes

This was pretty easy & looks like fun. I've been wanting to learn how to use a photo sharing service, but haven't had time to look into it. Nice to be able to learn this at work. I will be setting up an account sometime soon. I read over the Mediamazine tutorial and the Flickr learn more tour, looks like I can handle it (I'm not at all familiar with this type of stuff) Here's a photo I enjoyed. It was interesting to see because I visited Galway, Ireland in the summer of 2005. If this shot is what (where) I think it is, this area was under major construction while I was there. It's neat to see what it finally turned into.



I just accidentally erased the link to the other photo I really liked while trying to paste it in here (going too fast & not paying attention). Found it again. this is just so beautiful & tranquil, I love it. I wish I could visit this spot, but I won't be back in Ireland for a long time.

thing 3 & 4 (create & register blog)

were pretty easy, except for having lost the draft of the first post (thing 2). don't know why i didn't just publish it in the first place. maybe didn't realize i could edit? can't remember, a week is a long time...

thing 1, introduction

was boring. this lady talks too slow. i had to turn off the sound & just read it in order to pay attention. her voice made me zone out.

lost posting

what happened to my last posting? i can't find it
found it!! i had saved it as a draft, which i suspected i did but couldn't figure out how to get back to it.

thing 2, 7 1/2 habits

easy habits:
take responsibility for my own learning
have confidence in self as competent learner
view problems as challenges

not so easy habits:
set goal--i usually don't know what i want
use technology--i don't usually care enough to bother to learn it, so i dont know it
view problems as challenges (but i will learn from them anyway, whether i plan to or not)
play--the hardest of all
