Me? Technology?

Well - I finally did it. I used html in a post I made for an online forum I've been chatting on! It was a minor accomplishment, I know, but it was pretty exciting, nevertheless. Okay - so, I must lead a pretty boring life if posting with an html command is exciting, right?!

Anyway - I'm getting braver....who know's what's next?

flickr's cool!

Well, I'd been wanting to check out what Flickr was all about for some time now, so I'm glad I've been "encouraged" to for 23 things! It's really cool. I haven't spent a lot of time exploring, but I searched for my old home town and found quite a bit! It's fun to see photos from places you've been around the country (and outside the country for those of you who REALLY travel!) The mappr site was interesting and very applicable to our "Reading Road Trip" theme for the summer reading club for kids this year.

thanks for the encouragement!

Okay, here we go.

The easiest habit for me, I think, is to view problems as challenges. As tough as life can be sometimes, I have a pretty optimistic nature and can usually see the best of a situation. Sometimes it takes a little time to "see the glass half-full," but I usually come around!

The toughest habit for me is to use technology to my advantage. I'm afraid of pushing the wrong button or downloading something that's going to trash my computer, so I hold off and don't "play/experiment" with technology. I'm hoping that this class will help me overcome some of that fear!

Am I here?

Hi there; I hope I set this up properly because I had a little trouble (as easy as the directions were!)
