Cardinals

Here's a beautiful picture of cardinals that I found on Flickr. Since I also have cardinals year round at my home, I thought this would be nice to share. I can't get a picture of them this close. They're kind of shy!

Lesson 4a: Flickr

I've set up an account on Flickr and spent some time downloading some of my photos. I've also looked at some of their photos. I even found a family member who's on Flickr.

Lesson 3

It's nice to have so much information coming to me. I am currently adding feeds to my Reader so I'll have to play a bit to let you know how it could help me in my personal or work life. I do like Google. And I do like the way the blogs I've chosen to follow come up on my reader so I don't have to track them down. Very convenient.

My Avatar

I learned how to create an Avatar. This learning stuff is the BOMB!

Setting up this blog was as easy as setting up a new e-mail. I even figured out how to add a picture to my profile. I guess this could be an asset to library users if I wrote about the books I read. If I could talk my family into checking out this blog, I'm sure we could write some interesting notes to each other.

Habit #3 is the easiest habit to use: View problems as challenges. I guess my mind works that way. If there's something I don't know how to do, I find it a challenge to learn how to accomplish the task. I don't always do it the right way or the proven way, but I will find a way!

Habit #4 is my hardest challenge: Have confidence in yourself as a competent , effective learner. I know I learn well but the older I get the less I push myself to learn. And I need to push myself and have confidence that I'll remember the new information that I do learn.

Today has been very entertaining--considering that I'm working! The staff has been coming up with a very creative idea to share with our boss when she comes back from SDLA. It'll never top our Calendar Girls! We are SUPER!
I'll keep you updated as the idea develops.
