Week 3: Photos & Images : Things 5,6,7

Okay, every week that I begin to attempt my new assignment I begin to break out in a cold sweat. It always ends on an up-note but I feel exhausted when I finish. Part of the problem with all this technology is that I have so many log on names and id's and although I write them down, I find myself going through piles of post-it notes. This week I'm taking an old fashion pencil and notebook and consolidating everything.

Despite all my complaining, I did find using Flickr a lot of fun. I have some ideas about using the trading cards. The collages were fantastic! I also found links to some very unique cites which I can't wait to share with some of my colleagues. Unfortunately when I tried to find the original cite through Flickr, I couldn't locate it. Going back to the instructions for this week I found the link by clicking on Flickr color picker. Here it is

It is created by Jim Bumgardner who says he created it to "provide wonder and delight" and it really does. I can't wait to show it to our art teachers and music teacher. Check out the music box link here.

I have posted a trading card I made using one of the projects from a Day of the Dead unit I do with our language arts teacher

What one needs is the luxury of time and repetition of task.

#2 Week One

Well, here is my first blog posting. The difficulty I will have in regards to this course is finding uninterrupted time. I have been trying to set up this blog page since last week. The second area of difficulty is working with the technology but I keep telling myself if a sixth grader can do it, I should be able to with a bit of effort.

I am excited about learning new technology as well as a little apprehensive especially about remembering all my handles and passwords. I wrote them down and put them in a safe place but to date there are three safe places holding valuable information that I have forgotten. Well if worse comes to worst I'll just grab a sixth grader for some tips.
