It turns out the delay with getting the MERLIN password was with the webmail account, not MERLIN.
I logged into it. I do not have much time now to work on exploring. But, I did browse through the Learning Links and I think that will be very helpful. I am attempting to gain some more information on gaming and gaming programing for teens. Hopefully this will help.

Week 4...Thing 9
I went to MERLIN. I looks like a really neat site. I am still waiting for my password to be sent to my email before I can login.
Week 4...Thing 8
RSS feeds. I have heard about these recently and honestly had no idea what they were. Now, that I have explored them a bit I think they are great. I was discussing RSS feeds with Michelle before I had a chance to look at them and she said I would love them. And I do. I have a couple websites that I like to go to everyday to read my horoscope and to catch up on news and celebrity gossip. Now, all these sites are in one place for me.
I first went to Bloglines and tried to set up a page there. Actually I did, and I did not love it. There is no specific reason why Bloglines did not capture my enthusiam, but I was not excited about it. Then, I went to Google Reader. I love this site!!! I did not have to set up a separate google account, which was nice. I added 3 feeds and they were really easy to look at and add.
I still have a lot more playing...I mean learning... to do with this Thing.

Week 3...more
I just got done talking with Amanda W at Caro and she mentioned a fun site that I will have to play with me. It was FD toys. I haven't had a chance to go there yet.
Also, with the Library Trading Cards. They are fun to make. I had to make one with LATI. Some people can really display their creative side with these.

Week 3, Things 5-7
This week was FUN!!!
I hope I can retain the information I learned and played with.
I went to flickr and looked around with that. We actually had to explore this with LATI, but this time I actually set up an account. It was not hard at all. But, I had to set up a yahoo account also, convient for yahoo.
I have to admit the mashups were a bit confusing at first and only a little less confusing now. I went onto wikipedia and the links and explanations there were helpful. There is one site that picks keywords out of articles...http://www.wordsfinder.com/ I have to admit I still do not quite get this site though....http://us.keegy.com/ It is a bunch of blogs put together in some kind of way, I don't know.

Week 1, Thing 2
Pointers from Life Long Learners...
Setting Up a Learning Contract...My computer Couldn't open the Contract
7 1/2 Habits of Effective Learning
Easiest Habit for me: Of Course Playing
And, Beginning with the end in mind. It is important for me to have a goal and to understand what I am working for.
Hardest Habit for me: Viewing problems as challenges. I am getting better with this habit, but it is still hard. But, what fun would life be without problems or challenges?

Week 1: Thing 1
Reading a blog and learning about the program
This program seems interesting. Hopefully I will learn a thing or two!!!
I have to say I just completed LATI a few months ago and this program may be repeating some of the things we went over with that.
