Thing #4

Finis!

Thing #3

After many hours of trial and error (and a quick trip to the Media Center to meet with Dr. Bishop and Vaughn), I finally succeeded in setting up my blog and added my avatar! I had difficulty navigating through the links in the 23Things section because it seemed to keep throwing me back to the class home page every time I hit the back button. I have been told that this only happens if you access it through the WebCT page. If you open another window, there is no problem – thank heavens!

Thing #2

I think that the habit I am best at and most enjoy is #7 - Teaching and Mentoring Others to give back to the community. I enjoy working with children (hence the career change from the corporate world to teaching!) and I have volunteered every Sunday morning for over 18 years now at a children’s shelter for abused and neglected children. I have really learned a lot from these kids about how much I have to be thankful for. The habit I have the most trouble with is #7 – Using Technology to my advantage (as evidenced by my slow start in this class!). I admit I am intimidated by computers and need people to be patient as I make my way into the 21st century!!

Is Anyone Out There?

I'm still not sure I'm doing this right. It's all "geek" to me!
