Thing # 9
It was interesting to search for different feeds. I used the search option on Google Reader and found some great ones. I thought Technorati was the most efficient. GoogleBlog was a good way to find blogs. I thought Syndic8 was a little confusing.
Thing # 8
I set up my Google Reader and I know I am going to really like it.
There are several websites that I visit every day and it will be great to be able to access them from the same spot each day.
I am sure that I will use it for both personal and school searching. It will make it easier to keep up with the different websites I access. And it will save time when searching for information I will need for my lessons at school.
As far as using it in the library is concerned, it could be used to get reviews of various books and also to give suggestions as to books that relate to a specific topic you are researching.
It makes me feel like maybe I am computer literate after all!

Thing # 7
I had never heard of Google Scholar but know that I will use it often in the future for both school and personal research. It has some great stuff.
I set up a home page http://www.google.com/ig
I really, really liked Google Earth the very best - spent lots of time there!
I am enjoying all of the new stuff I am learning.

Thing # 6
Making a puzzle is so much fun - although I making mosiacs was exciting also. And making a Trading Card was great. Not really sure which 
was my favorite. I really had fun playing with all of these and think that my students will have fun - I think that they will enjoy making Trading Cards the most. It could be used to help them learn to use adjectives - describing various pictures.

I already knew how to download pictures but had never visited Flickr.
It was lots of fun - so many great pictures.
I picked a hummingbird since I was co-teaching a second grade classroom this year and we had a great time studying birds. I learned a lot!

Thing #3
Setting up the avatar was a little trickier.
But it was fun - I love doing new things - even if I have trouble - even if it seems like I can't do it - usually if I keep on keeping on - perseverance.
And one of the greatest things (and there are many to chose from) my pastor taught me/gave me was the 'freedom to fail'. It is what gave me the courage to go back to school at 51 get a master's degree and a teaching certificate - and the courage to try many things.

Beginning Blog
I think I actually may have done this right!
It was a little intimating to start this blog.
But it is fun.
I am interested to see where this will lead.

New Ideas
I don't know what I am doing. I love to learn new things so I am eager to learn how to write a blog. It was a little intimating to do so.
I think the hardest one of the habits for me is # 6 using technology to my advantage - I want to know more which is why I am doing this program. The easiest one for me is 7 1/2 be curious - I am curious about so many things. There is so much I want to learn about so many things - that it is sometimes hard to choose what I want to do next.
