Spell with Flickr

I went to Spell with Flickr and created a mashup, but I couldn't get it to upload the whole thing to my blog. I could save one letter at a time on my computer and then upload that letter, but it wasn't what I wanted. After several tries, I went back and read some of the posts for Jeff under Thing 4 and found someone who had the same problem I did. I followed his instructions for them and was able to copy and paste the mashup. I'm so proud of myself for not giving up! I learned something new today. Hence the name of my blog, She Can Be Taught. It's always fun to learn new things. I'm looking forward to checking out the other mashup sites.

Mashups

Okay. I went to Spell with Flickr and created a mashup. Now let's see if I can post it. As you can see, I could only post two letters. I'll try another site.

My Flickr Photostream

Here is a link to my Flickr photostream. I uploaded a picture of our new puppy, Chip. His full name is Chipotle Chili Pepper. Before we got him we knew he was going to be a red dachsund, so we went to the spice aisle in the grocery store to look at dachsund-colored spices. We came upon Chipotle Chili Pepper and decided to name him Chip. We didn't know that he would also live up to the chili pepper part of his name. He's a livewire but loads of fun. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bucksu/

Second First Post

I realized after looking at the 1st thing again that I needed to say hello to everyone on my first post. So . . . hello! :)

Flickr

I just tried out Flickr for the first time. I uploaded and edited a picture of our new puppy. It was fun. After I did that, I explored the site a little and did a search for frogs. I found a lot of cool pictures that I might want to use for a project in the fall. Does anyone know if these pictures are copyrighted? I would think you need to ask the owner of the picture before you use it or print it, but I don't know enough about Flickr yet to know for sure.

First Blog

Before reading the suggested articles, I didn't really know what Web 2.0 was. Now I feel like I have at least a limited understanding of what it includes. That's a good thing, especially since I work in a library. :)

I like the format of 23 Things and the concept behind it. Fifteen minutes a day doesn't overwhelm me (at least at this point). I'm looking forward to learning more in the next few weeks about some of the tools that are available online that might be useful in a school library, starting with blogging. So here goes . . . .
