Thing 3

Flickr is unbelievable. I spent almost an hour going from the town in Germany where I spent a summer http://www.flickr.com/photos/nightshadow/293052290/ to an image of my dog's alter ego somewhere jumping a fence http://www.flickr.com/photos/ladylabobo/57037478/ then to a species of bird I tried unsuccessfully to photograph in Winter Park, Colorado http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidspix/2093106536/ and many others, including some great shots of bluebonnets. I can see many educational applications for this site, but I'm almost positive that my district's filter will block it. Nevertheless, my husband and I had a lot of fun looking at our hometowns, and I will return to this site. Maybe I'll even get brave and download some of my own for the world to see.

Thing two

It's scary when you realize how little you know! That was impressed on me when I watched the "Shifted Librarian" video (if that's the right term). Another thing that stayed with me - I'm a school librarian, and I fight the authoritative/nonauthoritative source battle constantly. We have access to great databases, but it's hard to convince students (and teachers!) to use them.

Thing one

This is great! I hear about twitter, blogging, etc., and now it will all make sense.
