Challenge Two-Commenting

While I was viewing various blogs, I came across one named my oh-so-normal life. The blog had not been updated in awhile but that didn't really bother me. I was struck by the actual writing. The blogger really has a talent. My comment to the blogger: "You have a knack for writing. Don't let it take you so long to update." The blogger had a style of writing that just captured me. Whoever it is, with time, effort, and a great plot, that person could be a good author.

Challenge Two-Connecting

This was difficult for me. With no instructor in front of me to question, it was sink or swim! It took me alllllllllll day (it is now 6:39 pm). I managed to subscribe to the blog of my colleague, Ms. Lena Deskins at http://mrsdeskins.blogspot.com. Per your instructions, I also subscribed to DPS Technology Challenge at http://fall.dps-tech-challenge.blogspot.com. My final choice was a site that keeps you informed on whats new on google reader at www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/15650323335570657892/label/cool. Boy! am I learning how to do some things. Thanks a bunch !

Challenge One-Why I am Participating

As you can see, my blog is titled "Technologically Challenged". I considered "Technology For Idiots, 101". With that being said, you know why I am participating. Technology is moving faster than I can catch up, and I started out behind. Every year I try to take a technology class so that I am not that far behind my students---I mean I almost through a party last month when I downloaded a video! It may take me a year to complete all the challenges, but I'm hangin in here.
