Week 3, Thing 7: Create a blog post about anything technology related.

I have been exploring the use of LEDs to light miniature scenes and I found some great photos of various ways to wire them on Flickr.

It would be fun to do a set of these to go along with the game. Kids could get one every time they turn in an activity sheet.

This may seem too much like school, but since we had some people who thought Mt. Rushmore was in Montana, it seems worthwhile! Just an add-on to our Summer Reading Program.

What a magnificent miniature! It reminds me a bit of the Baltimore Row House project from the Maryland State Day in 2006, but much more professionally done. Flickr could be addictive, so many people have posted photos of so many things!

I'm a Hufflepuff!!

Want to Get Sorted?
I'm a Hufflepuff! We were planning a "Harry Potter Wrap-Up" event for the fall and found this great sorting Hat site. Will probably use it for the July 20 event as well as in the fall. Just a few questions so it doesn't take forever. There were other sites that used a more psychology-oriented approach (and one might argue that they would be more accurate) but most kids wouldn't have the patience and we certainly don't have the time!

This is a picture of one of my miniature projects. I first uploaded it to my Flickr account and then blogged it from there.

Week 2, Thing 3: Set up your own blog & add your first post

This was pretty easy and fun, too. But I need to add some pictures and other goodies!

Week 1, Thing 2: Pointers from Lifelong Learners.

Easiest for me: Creating a learning toolbox. Once I know what I want to do, I can look for resources to help me in a variety of places.
Hardest for me: Beginning with the end in mind. I actually have the hardest time defining my goals. I'm usually too broadin scope, which makes them difficult to accomplish.

Week 1, Thing 1: About This Program

Well, I'm getting a late start, but better late than never!
