Welcome

Hi Everyone,

This blog may have been created for a class but I hope to use it as a way of organizing information not only for others but for myself as well.

A little bit about me:
I'm a 27 year old Elementary Library Media Specialist teaching classes at 2 schools with a total of over 600 students. After school I tutor fellow teachers on how to use and integrate various technologies into their lesson plans. On Saturdays I work at a shoe store that I have happily been a part of for over 8 years.
Since I work 6 days a week it is difficult to fit hobbies into my extra time. But I guess if working out and nutrition is considered a hobby then it would be mine. I weightlift twice a week and do some form of cardio five days a week. In the past year I have lost over 40 pounds and have become a firm believer that with diet, exercise, and determination that anyone can live a healthier lifestyle. So that is enough about me.

Ready, Set, and Let the Blogging Begin,

Laurel Wing

Flickr

Flickr

I used to have a Flickr account about 5 years ago but for the life of me I could not remember my username and password.  So I used the sign in through Facebook feature which was really helpful to me.  I didn't realize that there are groups on Flickr that you can join and upload pictures and video to in order to collaborate with others in your career field or who have similar interests.  When I used Flickr before it was for a short time during my Myspace days in college and even then I wasn't sure if it was the right site for me.  I think that it boils down to the fact that Flickr is a great site to share photos and videos on in order to share them with friends and loved ones who may not be on social networking sites.  This way they can still share in the experience of your adventures in life without having to become a member of a social media society that they may not have wanted any part of.
