thing 2 google map and paint


I found it easier to edit a screen shot by copying it first into Word and using the picture toolbar to cut the image before pasting it in Paint to save as a JPEG.

I found setting up a Google account and adding stuff easy from a technical point of view. I wasn't so sure about content though as I'm a bit of a minimalist and also like to clear the clutter regularly.

thing 2


I changed date and time, made map local and changed weather reports to
UK and added word of the days in betweenst helping one student to use microfilm and helping another avoid microfilm by accessing our online resources.

This was just an experiment in changing layout which did not seem to make a difference. I did learn though that your can't upload image two until you have uploaded image

thing 3

I'm following the 23 things programme and setting up my first blog as I sit at the issue desk. Constant interrruptions make it hard to follow a trail of thought so I'm using default tools for the present and hope to get more creative on a quiet evening in the vacations! Life long learning has made me pragmatic about bitesize opportunites to learn or do something new.

First exercise completed as I'm about to log off from desk. No time to dither.
