Flickr

Wow, how easy is Flickr to use. The hardest part was getting accustomed to the Library's camera.
I wish I'd thought of documenting the changes to the CRC earlier.

Author blogs

I've been looking at some RSS feeds that I subscribe to through Google Reader and came across this gem.
This is a really interesting podcast from the ABC's Bookshow about
authors and their blogs.

It's amazing how fast the Web 2.0 technology is being adopted for new uses, seemingly on a daily basis.

It seemed appropriate for our Library 2.0 project.
The uses of Web 2.0 technology are just expanding seemingly on a daily basis.

Jessica about to go into her 6th Class formal - "The best night of my life so far."

I may be biased, but I think she looks gorgeous.

Habits of lifelong learners

Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

This was a really useful podcast, and one I’ll revisit.
I jotted down some notes as I watched it.
1. Goals – I sometimes have them, but it would probably more productive if I made a point of always writing them down.
2. Responsibility for own learning – always feel this. It’s good to take pride in your accomlishments.
3. See problems as challenges – I try to always do this, but when faced with time constraints, it’s sometimes the case that you just see problems as a pain in the you-know-what.
4. Have confidence in myself as a learner – always, even if I don’t grasp something immediately. I’m a stubborn person, so persevere.
5. Learning – I didn’t realise that I had one, but can see that I do.
6. Feel comfortable with technology. I love it!!! The trouble is, it can become addictive.
7. Teach and mentor others – I try to do this as often as possible. Knowledge is only knowledge when it’s shared.
7 ½. Play – as often as possible.
