Summer Reflection

It has been summer break for me. I have changed my Avatar to a more summer background.
Technology has been helpful for summer, I can check school email even though I am not at work. If I need to make changes to the school website from at home. I can be reached by cellphone if needed.
Technology has made traveling easier also. I make plans via the Internet. I can keep in touch my cell phone, plus with my new phone I check the weather or map. I look for points of interests which include costs and times or even buying tickets ahead of time on the Internet before I go. Of course I send pictures from cell of really great places. Or I can ask my son if he wants that shirt before I buy it for him by sending a picture of the shirt by cell phone. Actually we do a lot of texting.
I am checking out a libraries books on their card catalogs before I go there to do research for genealogy, so I know what they have ahead of time.
I is a nice day out today. I have done some gardening but I am also spending some time on the computer for my next day plans. Now it is time to do some more summer chores.

Reflection 4

Well, the last couple of weeks has filled with technology, some old and some new. I spent some time with different printers and paper for pictures. One discovery was that the laserjet did not do as well with multiply pictures for a longer period of time as the inkjet. The inkjet was still much slower.
My job is part problem solving, many of the questions are figuring out how to do things or fix things with technology.
I am always learning something new, rather it is dealing with the old overhead projector or the lap top.

Reflection 3

Just a short reflection today. It has been a very busy week at work. A lot to do with technology. It is important when it comes to technology to always check to make sure the hardware and software work together. Also to make sure the new software works with the other software. Sometimes it is like a puzzle making sure all the pieces fix together. Some times my favorite is making sure I have the right cable to download the pictures from a camera.

Reflection 2

I needed a title after Thing23, so I decided I was reflecting on technology in the media center or my life each week. This weekend I realized how important technology is to communication. I keep in touch with both school libraries thorough out the day. It makes my job both easier and more complicated at the same time.

I use either my cell phone or camera to share photos with friends or family at a click of a button. It was fun to go on a trip up north to see Lake Superior and the beach. Yet, I was able to share the fun and beautiful scenery with family because of digital pictures and email.

April 26 2008

I haven't quite may my goal of once a week to adding to the blog, but things have been very busy. The picture I am adding today is the latest in snowfall that we are receiving at this moment.
As for technology I am planning to start a wiki for work soon. We are looking at changes for the website. I am looking at other school library websites to see how I can make the media center sites better and more user friendly over the summer. I would also like to work more on book blog over the summer.

Video part 2

I tried putting a home video, it shows in previews. Once I publish it it doesn't show. It is a video of the morning of the blizzard in April. I will need to check and see what the problem is. It is a new camera that all the movies are mp4.

Thing 23

I made it to the 23!! I know this is really just the start of using all the things I learned. This was a great opportunity to learn new things. I liked the videos I could watch and learn on my own. The instructions were good. I am excited to try out some of the Things I learned. The goal is the post something at least once every week.
