Wow, was this fun! Maybe I do know how to play if I allow myself the time to do it (somehow it seems okay if it's a class mandate!) Anyhow, I took a digital photo, had a co-worker show me how to upload it, then got on Flikr, created an account and uploaded a few. My mind is racing about how we can use this in-house. I already found some Flikr photos of book displays and made a link on this blog; now I have created my own account where I can post photos of the displays that I do so that other branches can see and share ideas/materials. Perhaps we could all share an account and subscribe to the feed so we could regularly see what displays are being created at other branches. One enterprising co-worker already suggested setting up rotating display boxes so that when one branch works hard on a display it can be easily shipped around and shared. This may be a good way to get that rolling...now if only we could get everyone to USE this cool technology...!
Play! My children are great at this; my husband is great at this. I am not so great at it. Hand me the new camcorder and I'm dismayed by all the buttons. I have to ask my husband to post our digital photos on-line, download music, burn videos from our camcorder. I am too perfectionistic, too afraid to break it or alter it irrevocably and negatively. So of the 7 1/2 habits of life long learners, I am weakest in the 1/2. Ironically, I am confident of myself as a competent, effective learner--give me the manual, show me how in a class. But heavens alive! Don't make me play around to figure it out!
