Thing 6

I had worked with Flickr a little bit, so I was comfortable with this assignment. I did get a little frustrated trying to find a picture that was not copyrighted. I did finally find a picture that I really liked. I loved the simplicity of the picture.

Thing 5

I have to say the directions have been so clear and easy to follow. It was a very easy assignment. I think the toughest thing was looking through all the blogs and trying to decide which ones to subscribe to. So far, so good :-)

Thing 4

Just finished Thing 4. Still a little confused about how I will use it, but hopefully everything will become more clear as I continue through all the things. I have realized there is so much out there that I have no idea what it even is. Looking forward to learning more!

Thing 3

I think that blogging could be a really useful tool in many educational settings. The population of kids that I work with (0 to 5) computers are not an option. However, I like the idea of using a blog to try to connect the families. I think some parents feel they are alone when they have a special needs child, and it is so important for them to connect with other parents that are going through the same type of things. Hopefully, this would be one option that many parents would be comfortable with. I am really looking forward to exploring the possibilities of it. For older students, the possibilites seem endless.

I did it! I was a little concerned, but it was very easy to do. I am looking forward to learning how to do 21 more things now! Trying to impress my computer-savvy daughters :-)
Blogging has made me a little uneasy. I have stressed the importance of being mindful of what you write to my own children. The population of kids I work with are too young to have access to computers, but I do feel that it would be a good tool to unite the families.
