Success!- 10 hyperlinks added

I was able to add the 10 hyperlinks to Thoreau's piece.

I am working diligently on this website to make sure that I complete this challenging website assignment.

This course has been a rather difficult one for me this semester. I was shoved into learning and manipulating with the computer in ways that out of my schema of informational technology.

At the same time, it has broaden my knowledge about the technological advances that librarians must be able to manipulate with in order to serve their patrons in the ever-changing means of gathering online and analog information.

I have not mastered the inline styling of the Thoreau assignment and my BBC news link just disappeared. When this happens, which has been frequent throughout the semester, I question the reliability of getting information online.

Thank God, for team-work, diligence and willpower.

Lots of my successes are still "work in progress".

I have tried to delete the empty grazr box from my blog to no avail. However, there is a grazr box below that has my connotea and delicious searches. To my surprise, my zoom clouds just appeared on its own. Weird? or was it suppose to happen just like that?

I am so frustrated by this rather challenging assignment of creating a webpage. I don't have vast knowledge of what the underlining of a website is like so I guess that is the first frustrating part of this assignment. I am trying so hard and still hitting walls. Thanks to Kim, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. Somehow, I am still trying to remain optimistic about the end product! ... oh, how I constantly wonder about my grade for this class.

I am having such a difficult time getting my website completed. The major difficulty is getting the blog, Grazr with connotea and del.icio.us posted. I am hoping that tonight's chat with Dr. Tomer would provide some needed answers to some of the most difficult questions. Thanks goodness for VI teamwork in some instances.

I just stepped in to blog. My group is on skype having a book discussion. Back to the chat!

Quite busy this week, I can only blog that I am trying to get the website setup published.

Too many questions, not an expert in technology, not many experts to ask, frustrated!

But BLESSED by GOD!

Home Improvements? ... no ... Library Make-Overs

I really enjoyed the hot topic for this week: Funding

After thoughts,

Librarians are definitely going to have to able to learn how to write grants as it is obvious that there is not enough voice out there to bring awareness to why libraries are important in communities. As well, why updating libraries for the next generation is a worthwhile investment.

I got a few ideas while looking at the post of others: Libraries Make-Overs, Newsletters on what children are doing in school libraries, Most researched topic, teacher highlights, parent/child highlights and Library luau.

Quiz Results In!

I saw my grade on the LIS 2600 Quiz last evening.
Pleased!.

Off to work with this thought looming over my head:
Zoom Clouds is still giving me problems to get finished.

Rest, Massage and Pedicure Needed

This week, I have been caught up with getting the YWCamp organized with activities to stimulate the creative thoughts of 20 campers.

Keeping up with the UPitt assignments require a lot of balancing of my time. I am exhausted, but plan to have a personal pedicure at the beach with all the elements to get me relaxed.

Oh! ... I got distracted: I got my website published.
Still having issues with zoom clouds.

4th of July + UPitt

Happy Fourth of July!

Wished it was all play and no UPitt work. I just could not organize it that way.

Oh well!

What a busy week!

and then ... Summer Camp begins on Monday.

Quiz Responses Submitted

I just submitted my responses to the online quiz. This is my first time taking an online test. Really did not know that to expect.

My impressions? ... well let me view the grade first. I sure did learn a lot of how my computer works.

Lots of things do happen before the interface pops up. New insights ... the type of learning I like.

Back to trying to get the ZoomClouds floating in my blog.

Sneak Peek at Quiz 2

I just took a sneak peek ... Dr. T's Quiz 2 is posted!

24 hours to get it going.

On your mark, get set, click start!

Hey, who knows it just might be a breezer ... or not!

Will let you know at the next posting.

Surveillance of my Blog!

I was surely horrified to learn that Amazon and Google are sharing your online information with the government in their partnership to place surveillance on citizens despite our struggle toward democracy.

This whole idea has got me thinking ... who is reading my blog entries besides Dr. T and the UPitt instructors? Hey, how do you know if someone has subscribed to your blog's RSS feed?

These are surely questions that make me questions many motives especially the popularity of innovations.
