Thing #10 Online Image Generators

I used the Comic Strip Generator to create this comic. It was fun and easy. I tried again with a different Snoopy cartoon but it wanted to charge me for it- it took me to PayPal. I guess we have to be aware that these are here but not always "free".

Flickr Tools Thing #5

I've spent way too long fussing around with trying to make a mosaic and then trading cards. It seems like it's working then when I try to share it doesn't come up on my blog--Arghhh! It would be a fun thing to do if only it worked.

Thing #7 Technology Discussion

Too many passowords- I remember Ann telling us about a site that stores passwords- was it in Google docs?

On another note... last week I had my 5/6th graders explore Digital Pipeline. I really talked it up as a way to do research from home but as we explored and tried searches we found the Search page to be cumbersome and our searches didn't come up with that much worthwhile stuff although the students really enjoyed the pictures. World Book online was a bit more user-friendly in my mind so we started exploring that this week.

Thing #1- lifelong learners

I did write a blog about this on my first attempt at blog set up but then changed my blog name and address so the first post didn't end up on this page. At any rate... my challenges are not giving up with the problems instead look at them as challenges- I'm pretty good at staying focused and getting things done although not always in a detailed comprehensive way. I guess you'd say I'm a "doer" not so much a "thinker".

Thing #5 Flickr Picture

I'm exploring Flickr and can't quite figure out how to bring in (import) the picture from my flickr acct. I can do it directly from my computer. Like this. Hmmmm

Thing #3 Avatar

Okay- I've changed my blog address so my name doesn't come up and I think I've figured out how to paste in my Avatar. Little by little it begins to make sense.
