School Break Week

Sorry I haven't posted this week so far.  Everything is always off kilter on a school break week.  I sleep later and stay up later.  I pay more attention to the pets and try to get stuff done around the house.  More later...

Thing 3 : Photo Sharing

Ever wonder what your library would look like practically empty?  Well, I found out in June 2005 when we emptied the library for renovations.  Take a look:



Okay, I have uploaded 2 images to my brand-new flickr account.  I couldn't get the flickr post to blog feature to work and the blogs link with URL wouldn't work either.  I guess that is because I made my photos private, only visible by family and friends.  I will have to explore more.
This is a well-timed activity because, what with state cuts to school districts, our program has been threatened.  I have been trying to compile photos to show what I do in my building, although I haven't gone so far as to figure out how to share them yet.
I will try the Creative Commons licensed photo search, too, before I end for this session.

Big Day

Okay, I set up this blog.  I started an iGoogle page and added RSS feeds, including one for my own blog!  And I signed on to the Capital Region BOCES wiki.  Lots of progress for 1 short day.  I guess this Learn with CDLC is working.

Thing 2: RSS

Well, I have my iGoogle page set up.  I'm sure I will be tweaking it on and off.  Some trouble adding blogs as RSS feeds though.  Maybe I'm getting too tired.

Motivated

I went to a conference session with Polly this afternoon.  I have a whole new list of things I should try.  Is sleep optional?  The only thing I'm missing is time.

Hurray!

Not much snow.  That is such good news.  I am sick of snow & the cold.  My crocuses are already blooming.  Hopefully the daffodils will come up soon!

Thing 1: Blogging

So here is my first blog post.  I couldn't get back to sleep even though I'm going to the CASDA conference which doesn't really start until 9.  I should have slept an extra 1 1/2 hours!  Since I hadn't gotten to this assignment, I decided to.  Since I'm not fully awake, please excuse any spelling errors. 
It will be interesting to see if starting this blog makes me more interested in other blogs.
