week 10- Life as a Panther


This assignment is to report how I will use my mp3 player. I probably will not use the mp3 player given for participating in the course. I already have one that I use for downloading music. Assignment complete.

Week 9 Digital music



I liked listening to Emily Wallace. I'm not sure where I fall on the music recording but it seems ok to rip songs from your own cd that you already purchased and listen to them on your mp3 player. I do not believe it is ok to download the music from your cd and give it to someone else. It seems like stealing.

Flickr -week 8 and my beautiful doggy

Not a bad assignment. I just need to locate the camera and get permission to take some pics. How does uploading work? I guess I'll find out soon. This sounds like a group project.

This is week 11 and I finally got a camera. Thanks to Kim, I learned how take a few digital picts. and send them to flickr. I just found her by accident in the workroom and borrowed the camera from the info desk.


I like this course very much. It is crucial to learning current technology and providing excellent customer service. I wish we had this course sooner. However, I am disappointed in not having a classroom partner. I was under the impression that we would work in pairs. I have worked hard to master some of these skills which are probably very easy for a lot of people. I scrambled around to find a staff member who had the skill that I did not have and learn from them. Then I would hustle around and help other co-workers who were having some difficulty so that they could advance in their computer skills. I also benefited immensely from this approach. Under the present changes we have even less time to help each other. It seems as if we are very isolated. When it is slow we should be allowed to join co-worker and sit at a station and do everything listed in the assignment until we can master the skill so well that we can do it in our sleep.

My doggy is very happy. She is constantly running around. She has a lot of energy. She will go to the vet on June 8 for a check up. I hope she has lost more weight.
