Week 6 #14 Technorati

I looked at Technorati and searched for Learning 2.0. There were 25,934 blog posts about Learning 2.0. Searching with blog directory I found 497 blogs. Searching for Learning 2.0 tags, this brought up blogs, videos and pictures. I did a search for Cal Ripken Jr. and I found a video of a photo montage of Cal Ripken Jr. through his career that was very well done and other videos.

Week 6 #13 Del.icio.us

On to # 13 del.icio.us. I had never heard of del.icio.us until learning 2.0. I watched the video and looked at del.icio.us using the PLCMCL2 account. I looked at a few of the bookmarks and the comments that were added. I like the fact that you can access your bookmarks from any computer.

Week 5 #12 Rollyo

I went into Rollyo and set up an account. I created a recipe searchroll and added it to my blog, the link is at the bottom on the right. I added some of the sites that I have used. You can use it to search for recipes. I can see how this can be helpful for someone that goes to the same sites all the time.

Week 5 LibraryThing

I signed up for LibraryThing. I found it very easy to add books to my Library. I think this is a great site. You can get recommendations on what to read next. I like the book suggester feature. Here is the link to my library.

Week# 5 Play week

Here is my Avatar with her Read shirt and in front of the Library. I went into my avatar and changed her outfit. This was fun. I also went into Meez and created a line dancing Meez.

Week 4 #9 Merlin

I had heard of Merlin, but I had not gone into the site until this week. I saw a friendly face when I opened up the site. There was Maurice on the front page. I looked at some of the blogs that were listed. I subscribed to Merlin and added a few feeds. I went to feedster, Topix.net, Syndic8.com and Technorati. I liked Technorati the best. I found it was easier to use.

Week 4 #8 RSS feeds

I set up my Bloglines newsreader account and subscribed to 10 newsfeeds. I didn't seem to have any problem creating the account and subscribing to the newsfeeds. I looked through the most popular feeds and found a few that I thought I would be interested in.

I was able to add my list of feeds to my blog. It took me a number of times to figure out how to put the feeds on my blog. Thanks to Deb and directions from Lindabeekeeper I was finally able to add them.

Week 3 #7 Technology interest

This is my blog post about anything technology related that interests me this week. I enjoy using my digital camera. I want to learn more about how to take better sports pictures and also to learn more about photo editing software. I would like to be able to take more action photos and to be able to improve the quality of the photos using the editing software.

Week 3 #6 Flickr tools

I went to the Flickr trading card maker site and created this trading card for my granddaughter.

Week 1 #2 Lifelong Learning

I am going back to week 1 #2 and posting a comment about the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learning.
I think the hardest for me will be habit # 4 to have confidence in yourself as a competent effective learner. I'm not sure which one will be the easiest. I am just going to try and take each step and hopefully I will be able to learn how to use technology to my advantage and to have fun along the way.

This is a picture of a Lake that we visited while we were in Maine. The sky was a beautiful blue and the clouds looked like you could just reach up and touch them. Portland is a beautiful area.

Exploring Flickr

I explored Flickr and found a picture of the lighthouse that I saw at Portland Head, Maine. This is one of the places that I visited this past week. I was in Portland with my granddaughter for the USYSA Region 1 Soccer Tournament.
