spell with flickr

I successfully spelled the word media and placed it on the bottom of my blog.  Not sure how to get it anywhere else in the size I need.  This flickr/blog is way to much fun and I need to quit and scrub the floor.

Another Blog This from Flickr...my "happy place" the Big Island.

still on thing 3

I have successfully placed 2 photos on my new free flickr account.  The second one is tagged 23thingsonastick, so hopefully it is seen by someone.  I am going to play with this more tomorrow.  So far it has been fun, but a bit time consuming.

Here is my attempt at uploading a photo to flickr from iphoto and then using the post to blog button. Hope it works.

Thing 3

I just revisited my google RSS feed page and added a few more feeds.  I didn't think this was hard to do, but am not sure how to post it on my blog.  I am not really sure how I will use it in school, but I can see some relevance to reading new information quickly when I am at home.  I need to investigate a little further.  Or I should say use it a little more.  I am excited to get on to thing 4, but it will have to wait until another day.  If someone is reading this blog would you please comment.  Thanks

thing 2 on a stick

I just finished watching the video and reading the suggested articles describing Library 2.0.  I agree with the ideas presented.  I think that the general public is shifting in the way it accesses information and communicates and we need to "get with the program" and be able to offer expertise in these areas.  We need to create ways that speak to people and offer services they need.  Case in point-the English teachers in my small high school want me to purchase print encyclopedias, subscribe to the print Reader's Guide etc.  and I feel that the kids don't get the information that way so we would be better off to spend what little money we have on online sources or additional computers in the media center designated for research purposes.  Any opinions on this?  I would love to hear them.  I am excited to proceed with this endeavor and am looking forward to learning exciting current technologies.  The frustrating part is that in learning this I am not allowed to use most of it in our school setting.  All of the security on the network and machines prohibits much of this- blogging, im, flickr,  you name it.  Hopefully my new found knowledge will help me encourage the powers that be to "lighten" up and live a little.  Later-

Avatar

I only had to go to the help menu twice to get the avatar copied on to my blog.  It is cool!  I will probably go back and change my background and the avatar at some point.  Because of all the security on our school network I am most likely going to have to work through this program from home.  That is probably as it should be because as we all know-there is no time during school hours in the media center to think let alone learn something new.  more later.

Just beginning

Good evening,

I am a media specialist just beginning the innovative 23 Things On a Stick learning endeavor.  I will post more as I go onward and hopefully forge through and become a tech guru.
