Well, I was completely surprised by flickr. I was expecting some easy website to post pictures and allow others to see them similarly like photobucket but I found myself confused and completely lost. I like to think that I know a lot about technology but the more time that goes on, the more I realize how behind I am. I am not a person who used instagram or twitter (until now) and other websites because I do not find a need for them. I do not know if I am being how my grandparents were with technology or just trying not to get sucked in to the everyday world of WWW.  A few pictures that I uploaded to my flickr account are here. A few pictures that I found in my world that are important to me. What do you think?

I wasn't sure how I would feel about blogging once I got started. I do think that it will be an adjustment to remember to blog but just like any piece of technology, the more you do it, the more you will learn. After reading the article by Williams (2004), i found myself appreciating blogging. Blogging has grown in the past years and has been so successful due to the wide variety and versatility that is found. I would agree with this statement. Many people may blog about clothes, hair, make up, sports, running, jobs and so much more. Each type of blog will be important to a particular group and it certainly is a way to help others near and far discover the information faster and possibly with new information.

Blogging about Micro blogging!! I think micro blogging is going to be challenging for me. Playing on twitter so far I have noticed that some people tweet every minute and that will drive me nuts. Sometimes I do not want to see EVERY little detail but maybe in a few weeks I will change my mind, I don't know.

Okay so here is technically my second blog post but here I will blog about twitter. Am I completely sold on this idea of twitter, no, but I am willing to give it a shot. For class, we have to create a twitter account which means I will now have access to another kind of social media on a daily basis. I think the worst part of all this is that I can tweet on my phone so easily. I love technology but sometimes it distracts me from what I should be doing. For example, in my free time I watch tv shows on netflix. I love the internet but I should have been completing my assignments. A part of me is a bit nervous about creating this twitter account though. I think I am mostly nervous about liking it and being sucked into it. I am interested to see how the professionalism side of twitter will be. My students have only shown me the "high school" side of this. I will be looking forward to blogging and micro blogging during this class.

Kin 710 Blog Entry: I think the biggest and hardest part about starting this blog is not knowing where to begin, what to include and how to proceed. I have read and reviewed many blogs of friends and professionals but it is a completely knew experience when you're the one creating the blog. For starters, tonight is homecoming for the high school I work at and I enjoy the excitement. I never was in to sports in high school so I find being front row is more exciting than expected. The kids enjoy it too! I honestly just hope the football games are successful with little to no injuries. I sent two kids to the ER for xrays at yesterdays freshman football game to find out one kid broke his tibia. Just breaks my heart. I do love my job and I love the experiences I have been getting. When I am faced with trauma or high levels of anxiety for others, I find myself calm and ready to take on anything. I feel this is why I am a good athletic trainer.
