Learning about Learn 2.1

It's great to be back, blogging again! I'm looking forward to 2.1 and discovering what I know, what I thought I knew, and what I don't know! How's that for a creative answer to Tom's question for what I expect from 2.1!! -Renae

Thanks for the great 2.0 trip!

What to do with an MP3 Player?! Listen to lots of music recommended by my nephews so I can be the cool Aunt!! (Like "Party like a Rock Star!")

How I would use an MP3 Player?! Listen to music especially stuff my nephews keep talking about so I can be the cool aunt!
Really enjoyed 2.0 and learned a lot. It was a challenge keeping up but an adventure as well! I was like Bear Grylls surviving in technology wilderness, making my through and discovering I was up for it!

Digital Rights Management debate: Metallica caught a lot of flack for their stand on protecting their music. I think creators/ artists have the right to protect their work; I'm all for the free sharing of information as much as possible but think that artists creating works should get compensated for it.
I like the music web sites; I confess to playing "6 degrees from Kevin Bacon" and tried to find him as a music individual/group but no joy. I did find him on liveplasma under the actor category though.
I like Emily Wallace's web site!

Ok, I've nosed around FLICR although I've been here before to view OCLS images so I was familiar with it. I looked up images of icebergs and found some really great ones! Also images of iceberg lettuce...
I enjoy online learning; the most challenging thing for me is making time to do it as you don't want to rush through things. I've found that at work it is more difficult to do this as I experience a lot of interruptions in the course of a day and I'm trying to keep up with email, committee work, staff needs, customer needs etc. I've gotten stuck a couple of times and have asked questions of others which is helpful and is another way to work together as a team.
I thought ProtoPuppy was really cute! My page is called ProtoBerg.

I'm fascinated with the different names for things, like "mashup." Who creates these names and how do they catch on? The word mashup makes me think of a car crash between two vehicles, each carrying a load of potatoes!
I went to the websites linked in Week 7; I tried to find Hangman in Puzzle Player but no go!
