Thing #10 - Slideshow

This activity was a bit more challenging for me than some of the others we've done. I tried all of the different vehicles and finally did this one because my "plug ins" would allow me to actually do the assignment. Because I have Snoopy, a Congo African Grey parrot, as part of our library I chose to collect pictures of various African Greys. I was fortunate to be able to choose from plenty of pictures. However, when I would go back to ckeck on the pictures I'd saved I would find the label, but there would be no picture. That was puzzeling to me and I spent far too much time trying to overcome that particular problem. Some pictures just didn't want to be filed. They would be placed in a "download manager" location, but not where I wanted them. When I tried to view the download manager it wouldn't show the pictures. As you can tell I'm still having a problem with not being a native to this digital age.

Students and staff (most) are delighted to count and make sure all 4 turtles are in their tank, check out the aquarium and most of all, the antics of Snoopy my African Grey. That is the reason I created the followingslide show.
