Photo Angst

My son sent me an email with a link to Snapfish where he keeps his photos. In order to look at them, I had to join. (At least, they told me I had to join.) It was free. It was simple. (I am used to signing up for free and not-so-free things on the Internet. )I looked at his pictures and enjoyed them. Now, I am a member of Snapfish. Cool, eh? Not really, because, you see, I don't know the first thing about getting those great shots I've taken with my digital camera into my computer and then on to Shapfish... or any other place on the web, for that matter. Sure, as a member, I can go on to Snapfish any time now and look at my kid's pictures, but that's it. (Technology is great if you know how to use it.)

Blogging Is Great For Librarians

Blogs are a super way for librarians to share their program ideas. I receive email from a YA listserv and many of the librarians posting there refer to their blogs to share photos and information about successful programs they have conducted. I have gotten plenty of wonderful ideas from these librarians.

Seven and a half Habits

The 7 and 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners brought up some points that I had not considered before. In the past, I think that my view of learning has been somewhat "in the box." We are learning new things every day and not even realizing that we are actually "learning." I have always thought of learning in the "classroom" sense of the word. My first inclination is to think: I am too old to learn this or this is too difficult. Thinking of the end result will help to get me though this particular learning experience. I plan to use what I learn here and build on it.
