Thing 6


Finally I have completed my mashup. Easy to find the pictures, but I originally started with Flickr and finding pictures that show purple. Found lots of pictures but never could get them to download right to Mosaic Maker. Finally got this done. Features a picture from Kindergarten, I am the teacher in the long black skirt in the front row. Third Grade group picture, Third Grade individual picture, and after my mother chopped my hair off in 5th grade.

More later, chicas and chicos!

Thing 5


OMG! If you can't find a picture you need on Flickr then it probably hasn't been taken. Get a camera and take your own at that point. Very easy to maneuver and use. Make sure you watch which category you are getting your pictures from in case you have to document or cite your work.
Later chicas and chicos!

Thing 3

Well, it only took me 3 nights to get to this point. I am hearing the Beatles in the back ground singing about a little help from my friends. You guys are just so great to work with. The whole process has been a learning experience and while I might have eventually done it on my own, I didn't have to. Even the teacher was having trouble but we eventually got in and got the blog created and up and running. I have been on a couple of other blogs, and commented.
Good night till we meet again!

Thing 2

Once I got started going to college,I had already been working in a career for 25 years. After my first couple of semesters, I wondered how and why I had forgotten that as a child all I ever wanted to be was a teacher. Somewhere along the way I found that desire again, and ever since have considered myself a lifelong learner. It was very interesting to see the video and compare my personal ideal and what others considered it to be.
While not the hardest, it will be the thing that will trip me up and that is time management which I put under obstacles, . Easy to identify, not so easy to control. That is one of my goals this summer is to really work on getting things done on time, maybe early!, and not falling behind on anything.
The easiest will be resources. Finding things and then bouncing ideas off colleagues and friends is one the aspects I enjoy the most. That's why total on-line courses are hard for me.
More next time.
