Week 5,#11: LibraryThing

I really liked LibraryThing because it is a good way of keeping track of what you've read. I'd been using Excel to keep track of what I've read, but now I can use LibraryThing. It's much more convenient.

Week 5, #10: Avator

I had a lot of fun learning how to use Meez. It was a very interesting endeavor into my own creativity.

Week 4,#9: Finding Feeds

It was kind of fun exploring Blogline.com for RSS Feeds. I found it less complicated to use than Feedster and some of the others.

Week 4: #8 RSS Feed and Newsreader

I found the RSS feed activity to be a bit tedious, but somehow I got through it. I subscribed to 1o feeds: Dilbert, CNN.com, Quotes of the Day, Joke of the Day, and others. I hope that I am able to share them with anyone who is interested in reading them.

Damia (Photo Editing Week 3)

This is my new little niecy-pooh. Her mother and I have been best friends since we were 5 years old. She is my best friend's first baby and she is so adorable. I had fun doing the photo editing on this picture using Picnik.

The Visual/ Verbal Learning Style


You learn best when information is presented visually and in a written language format. In a classroom setting, you benefit from instructors who use the blackboard (or overhead projector) to list the essential points of a lecture, or who provide you with an outline to follow along with during lecture. You benefit from information obtained from textbooks and class notes. You tend to like to study by yourself in a quiet room. You often see information "in your mind's eye" when you are trying to remember something.

Learning Strategies for the Visual/ Verbal Learner:

To aid recall, make use of "color coding" when studying new information in your textbook or notes. Using highlighter pens, highlight different kinds of information in contrasting colors.

Write out sentences and phrases that summarize key information obtained from your textbook and lecture.

Make flashcards of vocabulary words and concepts that need to be memorized. Use highlighter pens to emphasize key points on the cards. Limit the amount of information per card so your mind can take a mental "picture" of the information.

When learning information presented in diagrams or illustrations, write out explanations for the information.

When learning mathematical or technical information, write out in sentences and key phrases your understanding of the material. When a problem involves a sequence of steps, write out in detail how to do each step.

Make use of computer word processing. Copy key information from your notes and textbook into a computer. Use the print-outs for visual review.

Before an exam, make yourself visual reminders of information that must be memorized. Make "stick it" notes containing key words and concepts and place them in highly visible places --on your mirror, notebook, car dashboard, etc..

Safety First

Practice putting safety first:

1. Never give out too much info about yourself: only people you know and trust should have access to personal information about you. (I'd never let anyone know where I live, what my bank account status is, or anything that might reveal too much of myself)

2. Everyone (especially children) should be careful to whom they are talking. It is in everyone's best interest to be discrete in their communications with others.

3. Remember, you are your own policeman.
