Week 3 Thing #5--Flickr upload

Below is my attempt at uploading some photos using the Flickr blogging tool. I tried messing around with the formatting because I dislike how far away the text is from the photos. What I discovered is that I have to edit it in Flickr first, before it's uploaded. But it sure looked better on Flickr than it does here, stay tuned, perhaps in Thing #6 I can figure out how to fix it.
Just wanted to share my family & hobby with you; not too library-like, but it's how the stress of cataloging, weeding, processing, and teaching is dissolved, with a good squeeze of the kid, and twenty minutes of free-motion quilting, oh yes, a bit of vino helps too! :-}}

Week 1 #1 Getting Started

Hi, as you'll notice, I don't do things in sequential order as requested, like creating the blog (#3), then reading the 7 Habits (#2), and now Getting Started(#1)...don't know if there is a Week 1 #1, but everyone else has one, so why not?
I've read the Web 2.0 text, and find that it is a great reminder of how far educational technology has come since the Apple IIe...the locus of control, as LOGO always promised, is finally in the learners' hands. The creative commons is surely in the hands of our students.
I enrolled in this course to learn more about ever-changing technology that seems seamless to our students. I want to use the tools to learn to podcast, develop an online media literacy course, and have fun. I hope to do that this summer, although it's quickly slipping away!
