Thing #5 (Exploring Flickr)

I found a photo of a campground in Mt. Everest. It will be a great visual for the book Peak by Roland Smith. I'm using it with a student I tutor, and he has expressed interest in viewing some of the camps mentioned in the book.

Thing #3 (reflections on blogging & avatars)

I’m not very impressed with this feature, and quite possibly it’s because I’m not fully aware of what can be done with avatars.

Also, I’m not much into playing with dolls, real or virtual, so it could just be my idiosyncrasy. In any case, I have to admit that I didn't spend too much time creating my avatar.

Thing 2 (Lifelong Learning)

This is my second experience with 23 Things and blogging. I've viewed the video on the 71/2 habits, and the habit I still think is most challenging for me is #1---Begin with the end in mind. I find that I am not as deliberate about setting goals for myself. I have a general idea of what I want, but nothing specific. I think my goals evolve as I delve into whatever it is I do. The least challenging for me are #7 (Teach/Mentor) and #71/2 (Play). I naturally like to share what I learn with others, and I prefer to share through play or at least a playful attitude.
