Today we learned about del.icio.us. One thing that I've increasingly enjoyed are the Common Craft Show segments. This is a quick, efficient, and fun way to learn the basics of whatever technological device is the topic of the day. It really helps to get this quick overview before we begin to try to wrap our minds around the ways we may implement the concepts in our daily lives.
Also, I have discovered that the best way for me, as frontline staff, to complete the assignments is to do them as two-step assignments. Step one: read about the assignment and view the video, if there is one. Think about it overnight, etc. The second day, practice the assignment and then write my blog. If I have to do it in three steps, as I have for the del.icio.us assignment, then I do the blog on the third day. This way I find I can still move forward on the assignments, but I don't have to rush through them so fast that I'm not really learning anything.
I signed up for my del.icio.us account this week. I plan to share my account with my grandson. This way, his favorites will be available to him whether he's at his house or my house AND I can help guide him in his selections. (Maybe he'll guide me, too!)
