Thing # 6

Mashups I have heard of and seen examples of, but this is the first time I have experimented with them -- and the possibilities seem endless. I really like the mappr and mosaic, but I spent the most time on postcards. I'm thinking of ways to suggest that my teachers can use them, but I don't have a great project yet. I made a card of my son as "A Man of Mystery." Maybe we could do something with literary figures? It's coming.

Thing # 5

I am excited about the possibilities of using Flickr with classes. There are ways to enhance projects, allow for creativity, and to teach copyright at the same time. I chose the picture simply because I am from "sheep country" and collect sheep (the inanimate kind). The topics that would fit with library projects run the gamut, so anything would work!

Thing # 2

The hardest part of the 7 1/2 things -- for me -- setting real, attainable goals.
The easiest part -- taking responsibility for my own learning.

Thing # 3

Lifelong learners -- want to be one (think I am one), want to help create them. That's why I'm learning as much as I can about Web 2.0!
