Technocrati

Explored the Technocrati pages and search features. I had kind of a mixed experience, some of it rather disappointing. For instance I searched the keywords 'India and movies' and returned such wonderfully accurate hits as "come join us in prayer" and "leather boots by Versace".

Hey perhaps these were titles of hit Indian movies - but somehow I don't think so. I imagine there were some advance search features that would have allowed me to tighten up the retrieval if I took the time to investigate. However, the initial seach was rather useless like some google searches as too many irrevelant things were retrieved.

I also conducted the prescribed search for "learning 2.0" in the tag search field and low and behold there was Jan's familar face among the video choices listed.

A lot of interesting things to explore via technocrati.

Still working to catch up on the lessons. I was able to review Rollyo and check out some of the features. I really don't have many web sites that I visit religiously, so I am not sure I would use the feature that allow you to search selected web sites, although I agree this could be useful for certain folks.

I also was able to generate and modify an image to post. Moving on!

RSS feeds

I am finding myself way behind on the 2.0 exercises after my recent vacation. I was able to learn about RSS today and set up some sample feeds to news sites etc. Be interested to see if this is useful or my things that I will just want to delete.

Moving On

I was able to make a trading card and post to my blog. Still much to learn.

I have taken a quick tour of the flicker site to explore the possibilities of this. I was able to post my first picture without any problems. Much more to see and learn. Mas Jeff

71/2 Habits

I have reviewed the 7.5 habits via the tutorial.. I think the easiest for me may be #2. accepting the responsibity for learning. If one is motivated to learn something, one needs to commit to this. The most difficult for me will be viewing problems as "challenges". I tend to view problems as just that, problems. So, I will need to try to put a more positive light on this when possible and try to think as these as "challenges" that are not necessarily a bad thing.

Off and Running

Hello. Creating the blog seemed to go fine. Excellent instructions by the Learning 2.o committee and Blogger folks. Many Thanks.
