Week 3 - #5, #6, #7

Week 3
#5 & # 6 - Flickr, Flickr tools, tips for beginners, public domain images, mosaics, mashups . . . All very interesting. I am still going round and round looking at what others have done. I could get lost in this forever . . .

I created this mosaic from my own photographs using a third party tool. BTW, anyone interested in flowers, plants, and gardening in general would find great information from the Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County. They take calls on their hotline (408) 282-3105, Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Questions are also accepted online.

#7 - About technology: I come from a time and place where technology meant clunky typewriters and mimeograph duplicating machines (What ???). Try writing a thesis with footnotes using those machines!!! (I'm really dating myself here . . . Oh, well . . .)

Many "Web-ers" are zooming past me at this Learning 2.0 marathon but I have set my goal to get to the finish line - - not necessarily with flying colors but with at least a basic understanding of, appreciation for, and competence with these new-fangled technologies.

I appreciate having this opportunity for guided learning. Thank you Virtual Services Team!
