Thing 3: RSS Feeds

I had no trouble setting up the Google Reader account but I got frustrated trying to find professional blogs related to Library Media. A collegue from SPPS, a technology coach, Deb K. gave me the names of some good sites: Doug Johnson's, Joyce Valencia's etc. I then felt satisfied. Now as I read those, I'm sure I'll discover others and my list will grow.

It will also be fun finding some RSS feeds related to some of my personal interests.

Thing 2

I've spent a couple of hours reading up on Web 2.o. I find it interesting that libraries are shifting into working with content created by the patrons as well as by authoritative sources. Keeping up with and integrating technology continue to be part of the job of libraries and librarians.

Thing 1 (Continued):creating and exporting an avatar

Again, I didn't read the directions very well. When I looked at the other blogs, everyone had an avatar. When I reread directions for creating the blog, there is was, #5, Creating an avatar. I had some trouble exporting it until I followed advise from a friend and printed out the directions. Then I followed them step by step until I got it!
