Tell me something....

So I wasn't sure how I felt about posting my picture on the internet. I still don't know if I am entirely comfortable with it, so that's why when we were asked to do this project in our ICT class while a guest speaker was with us earlier last week. He had asked us first to tell him something that we were once told- something that stuck with us, and something that we remembered well (that affected us in some way). Each person thought of something, and then the guest speaker walked around the room recording our thoughts. When everyone had said their sentence, he put it all together in a program called Audacity, which is used to put together sound files and cut parts, slow them down or add music to them, among other things. In the end, it was quite powerful-- hearing everyone in our class tell something that had been very personal to them. And if you add a slow acoustic guitar song behind it, it is really quite impressive.

Later on in the presentation, we were asked to take a "selfie", and then put our favourite educational quote on it. Because I wasn't comfortable with having my picture on the internet, I found a creative commons picture of a pair of shoes, and then placed the quote:

         "You can never be too overdressed or overeducated." --Oscar Wilde

I would love to upload it here! But...it seems that I can't. Hmm. For some reason it won't let me upload it. Why am I always having these problems??? I swear that I know how to work a computer.
