I saw this meme posted by Thomas McEntee and apparently it originated with Jill Ball of Geniaus. Oddly enough a couple of weeks ago I posted a blog Are You Tech-Savvy Or Tech-Challenged? So I decided this would be a good follow and see which side of the coin I land on. So here goes....
The list should be annotated in the following manner:
- Things you have already done or found: bold face type
- Things you would like to do or find: italicize (color optional)
- Things you haven't done or found and don't care to: plain type
Feel free to add extra comments in brackets after each item!
