Thing 11-Instant Messaging

I have Messenger on my laptop. I hate that it always pops up. I have exited, logged out, everything short of uninstalling and it always loads. The bad thing is, the last time was daughter was in, she logged in so now it always pops up with HER messages.

Thing 7 RSS Feeds

Although I had trouble getting the Reader to function properly in all the areas, I saw what a great tool it could be. I added some feeds to my reader so that I could show my husband how it works. He is the one that consistently checks the same sites every day so I was excited to show him how he could save some time.

Thing 9

I joined TLA, PLA and since my husband is from Pakistan, I joined the Pakistani Library Assn.

Thing 8

I just recently created a facebook account and I have enjoyed it very much. It can be very time consuming until you figure out how to tune out the quizzes. Sometimes, they are fun, too. But I usually only have time to quickly peruse what is going on with friends and family who live close by and far away. I have used facebook to obtain information, share information, prayer requests and more.

Thing 10-Ning

I searched for library and found ALA. Also, searched for Twilight and found several interesting sites, including those in a foreign language. Two sites I found helpful were when I searched for Preschool. I have a 3 year old stepson in Montessori. I found a Montessori online community with lots of video and a site that had Lapbook Lessons.

Thing 6

Had to wait until SRC was over to get back to 23 things and it has been an adventure. I forgot the email account that I used, finally figured it out and had my password emailed only I never received. I finally was able to remember the password, but it isn't activated until I respond to an email! Apparently I can access part of the reader but not all. I can't add my websites; I have tried everything. So far, I am just frustrated. Perhaps, tomorrow I can get it straight and learn more.
