Thing #3

I am very impressed with the blogs that have been set up already. Many are very elaborate and I am enjoying reading them. I am proud of the fact that I have been able to set up my blog and have now made 3 postings. I figured out how to change the name of my blog, display name, and template all by myself! For most this is an easy exercise, but for me it is an accomplishment! Now if I could just figure out how to post pictures...

Thing #2

I have established a goal that will last as long as the LCPL's Online Learning Program continues. I am going to maintain my blog, updating it frequently with new postings, adding and changing photos, and experimenting with changes in the settings and templates. Obstacles to my goal are not enough time at work, interruptions at work, and a lack of knowledge. I can overcome the first 2 obstacles by working on it at home. The lack of knowledge can be overcome by asking co-workers for help and by trying to resolve questions myself by trial and error, which can be the best way to learn. My toolbox will be my computer with speakers, the internet, and photos that I have downloaded to my computer. Resources can be my co-workers and my daughter (who knows more about the computer than I will ever know).

By achieving this goal I will become more comfortable and more knowledgeable with how the computer works and will be ready for the next challenge.

Thing #1

I listened to Stephanie and Doug introduce us to this new program. It will be a challenge for me since I am not computer literate, but a challenge that I welcome and one that is much overdue.
