Learning of the week


Well where do I start?

My aim is to feel as calm as the picture portrays:-) I have some ways to go!

I have managed to set up 2 blogs - one on purpose and one by accident - but then decided it wasn't a bad thing to have two so that only my e-learning friends to get see all these blonde moments!

I managed to get my husband following a blog from Sweden this morning. Just by chance he is Swedish and may quite like having a chat with his new followee!

I then managed to connect to the meeting after a panic attack about where I saw how to do it and flustered around for about 5 minutes:-) I even got the microphone up and running with no problems.

After that I managed to add a title to my posts on my blog (thank you Sarah) many little tips along the way a blogger I will be!

And now another proud moment I have just signed up to follow two blogs - well I think its me I signed up and not Mike?????????????? time will tell.

I did notice that I had left a post on a couple of blogs this morning - but because I didn't think to scroll down and put in the secret word they didn't attach themselves! Sigh

And all that is just the tip of the iceberg................. I'm sure I have learnt things unseen such as Patience... with Sarah and my followers at my side I am quite proud of what I have achieved!

Wow here is the title space:-)

That's funny thank you once again Sarah - I didn't even know there was a space for a title! My 10 year old son who is home sick today must think I'm a nut case when I keep laughing out loud when I learn something seemingly simple!
That was a great meeting today. It was funny about the 'can of worms' opened about igoogle. Also I agree and the ying yang. I do need to learn the technology but I am also excited about opening up my world and learning to interact with people all over the world and learning from them. Goodness knows I may have something useful to share one day too!
I have had several attempts and subscribing to other peoples blogs without any success so far. How do I know if I'm following you? Or maybe I am following you but don't know it? I would love to sort this out. can someone help?
Thank you for your comments Sarah. That's a good question about why am I interested in doing this course....I think I'm internet phobic! Every time I go to write a comment or a post and 'put my self out there' my heart starts to race and my blood pressure possibly goes sky high and I'm darn scared of it! I have a bad habit of deleting it the post (mostly intentionally sometimes accidentally)! My husband is very internet savvy and I have followed your blog ever since I started at Tuatapere and have always admired it and what you can share with others through it I also google Carolyn McIntosh's one often too. This is me putting my feet in the water and fixing something i'm terrified of to open my world and learn from others....and maybe one day I could mentor new grad rural midwives via the internet?
