Thing #16 : Reflection

Don't you just love reflection?

I have generally enjoyed 23 Things. I like the cataloguing site Library Thing and  I like blogs more as I have enjoyed writing Books and Leopards. I like Letter James.   I even don't mind Google sites too much as I have now created some websites but am less keen on Google docs as I still  have problems uploading docs.  I don't like having so many Google accounts (3 so far) because Google Staff Apps didn't have the functionality to link to the blog and I keep forgetting the username and passwords. I could learn more about Technorati, Twitter, RSS feeds, Creative commons and Podcasts. Goodbye Books and Leopards, hope you win me an i-Pad.

Thing # 15

I've used Facebook and quite like it for catching up with what people are doing and for storing photographs.  I'm liking photography at the moment and have been snapping away as I have got a new camera recently.  My friend has just been to Austria so I found some pics on FB as I'm going there soon and was researching the terrain (see below).
Current recommended clothing for Austria  is: a raincoat, a lightish jacket and otherwise the kind of clothes you would be wearing here at the moment, including something with long sleeves.

 I think Social media is interesting and students tell me they use it to communicate rather than email so I guess we need to embrace it in some way. I think a lot of the content though is rather frivolous and badly spelt.

See the You Tube video where you can meet me and have a brief intro.
Have done captions but am not sure how to add them so at the moment is uncaptioned.

Thing #13

I'm loving my new Google site for Translation. It's quite easy to do when you use a colleague's template. I think  I could have attachments for guides etc  at the bottom of some of the pages.

Thing #12

I've tried to upload a PPT to staff Google docs but have not been able to, it said that my file is too large. I may try again later.. 

Tried again to upload some minutes but it said  just froze and a message at the top said Your browser does not support all features of Google Docs. If you are having problems, try Google Chrome 

I'm not a great fan of Google Docs I have to say..

Word 2010

I'm loving Word 2010, it is so much slicker than 2007 and I have found  leopard pics on clip art! Can't wait  to get it on my PC.
