A Few Things I Learned This Week

My Wimba presentation was high on my priorities list this week,

and yet I was unprepared.

This was partially because I spilled my pop about ten minutes before the session,

which ruined my slide notes and copies of my project.

By the time I cleaned it up and reprinted my notes I had 

no time to import my presentation before the session began.

Lesson learned: put the lid back on the pop even if you are busy! 

I enjoyed looking at the others' presentations. 

I hope others put their presentations in our course wiki so I can see them.

I mentioned on an earlier post that I posted to a discussion board on LibraryThing.

So far the only response has been tell me that I used the wrong verb tense for a word;

not really the response I was anticipating!

I have only tweeted eight times.

Sandra sent me a tweet and it was nice to receive one from someone talking to me!

I stopped following some of my interests because they took up to much space.

I added my fellow students, and a couple more library people.

I was down to following 15 people/organizations, but I am back up to 20.

I have not had a response to my tweets so I am far from developing a "hive." 

I found a few tweets that I had to look at the URL provided.

One was from Random House; an opportunity to win the entire Jane Austin collection

by entering a sweepstakes.

I could also answer 10 trivia questions about Jane Austin and her books and

I discovered I do not know a lot about Jane Austin.

Another was "Top 6 Archives Myths" from Smithsonian,

such as them having an underground storage facility under the National Mall.

I have not tried Second Life again as of yet.

A couple of my other courses are keeping me busy as well as this one.

I have my grandson this weekend,

so I believe this will be a good time for this activity.
