Week 3, Thing #5


Flickr:  I've created a Flickr account and uploaded a photo.  The pic above is from Washington D.C. when I attended the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics National Convention last April.  I changed all my privacy settings...creeps me out a bit that photos I post can be searched, downloaded etc.  That's me and my digital immigrant-ness expressing itself!

Tagging:  I've tagged photos in Facebook before and I imagine the process works much the same here, although on Flickr you can tag a photo to show up and be viewed by a specific "group" of users and also that one photo can accomodate 75 tags.

Groups: is a group of users you are a member of, like all the library groups.  What a great way to share what's going on around the world with folks that have similar interests...like library functions, programs, etc.

Week 2, Thing #3

I now have a blog, "Ann Ibele's Learning Blog," with a template and an avatar.  I exported my avatar from Yahoo, but it didn't appear  on my blog until I updated my profile on ..... Google.  I don't quite get how everything is linked (probably through Google), but now the pic of my avi shows up on my blog!  Thank you to Ann M. for helping to motivate me to get started...just needed a little nudge from a friend!  : )
