Week 3: Thing #7 My obsession with Canon IXUS 80



I love my camera. It's small and handy, useful for ANY occasions. My kids are spontaneous beings. I am able to take a photo of them quickly with this camera if I catch them in cute actions. The video function is cool too! It's value for money!

Week 3: Thing #6 My Flickr website

Pictures of the NP library are included in there!

Week 3: Thing #5 Fun images



Here is a cute image that I love. These two boys love and hate each other. It's a love-hate relationship. They can be fun and yet irritating at the same time. They are boys of irony. Without them, it is peaceful yet eerily quiet. With them, it's fun but noisy. Disciplining and correcting them is a time of love and heartache at the same time. Boys....

Week 2: Thing #3 My Feelings about Blogs

I confess. I love reading blogs. I love knowing about other people's lives. It is as if some are sharing their intimate details about their lives for all to read. Blogs were like public diaries when it first started. A few years ago, I started my own blog and shared my photos, and documented my day to day life. Due to lack of time, I stopped updating it.

Now people use blogs for everything: documenting their lives, sharing photos, selling things, for sprees, sharing information....it is indeed a really powerful tool of communication and information.

Now that we are taking classroom learning 2.0, blogs also have another function: tracking our progress through the course!

Week 1: Thing #1 and #2

Finally, I had time to read through the pages of classroom learning 2.0 and 7 habits of lifelong learners. I took this course, knowing it's an online course, but was indeed surprised that we had like 23 things to do over 9 weeks! Wow!

First habit, begin with a goal in mind: Being quite a web idiot, as you can see from the title of this blog, I am not quite tech savvy. I wanted to take this course to be more aware of the online tools that I can use before I can even use it for my classes. I think I would achieve this objective here.

Anyone who is still willing to learn, would have some habits of lifelong learning in them. Of course, I would like to have all the habits, it's definitely never too late to learn anything!
