My library forays

   For Thing 6, Reflective Practice I will outline and discuss briefly two Tasks completed. For the third task completed I will discuss it using Reflective Practice. Thing 3, Image Banks     I explored the Flickr Image Bank as my task for Thing 3.    I used mostly a nature theme in my blog.    As part of this task I uploaded a photo of a Peacock to my blog and accredited the photo using the Creative Commons licensing type.
