The ideas coming out of the LOM class this last week have to do with using social networking/media to our advantage and seeing it for what it could be...an extension of creative self. I understand that computers can be used in a very healthy way, to make things easier in photo sharing and documenting life. I like the thought of it~ spreading out my photo-journaling into a variety of ways. I just wish the whole thing was a hundred times easier. My eleven yo son is much better at this whole techie thing than I am.
I get so frustrated with not understanding something! Argh!
I use and love many the facets of social media. I have the basics down: facebook, email, blog, and online classes. I use them everyday, but outside of those I am a quite lost. I need to just force myself to do more, right?
I sometimes long for the days when I had to drive to Kristi's to use her computer in her basement bedroom~ and that wasn't that long ago!
So I will start off slowly with the classes I am signed up for: Photography, Photoshop, May's class in Hybrid scrapbooking. Breathe in and breathe out. I know that once you reach the top of the curve, the down hill gets easier, right? I learned that by watching the Olympics (some of it online :o)
What is your next creative + techie hurdle?
