Week 1. Learning 2.0 & Lifelong Learning

(Out of order but still relevant!)

7 1/2 Habits Tutorial:

I find that the easiest of the habits listed for me is #7 1/2 which is "play." I have always been fairly easy going and I find work as well as learning can be more fun if you well, have some fun, lol! So this is by far the easiest thing for me to do.

I would like to continue to use my good sense of humor and willingness to make learning fun to my advantage each day.

The hardest lifelong learning habit for me is the teaching or mentoring habit. I get nervous when I am showing someone something new, and sometimes I lack the confidence in myself to show people new things. I feel like I might be telling them the wrong thing or that I sound silly when I'm showing them something.

I would like to work on this and develop this habit. I would like to be less frightened of teaching others and feel more confident in my own abilities.

We learn every day...so why not encourage it in every aspect of our daily lives?

Part of lifelong learning involves being open to take a class and learn something new at any age!

I am hoping to learn new things about the web and what it has to offer me as well as library patrons.

I have been using the internet for years as a social networking tool, and in order to keep in touch with friends and family who live in other states and countries.

Through Library Learning 2.0, I would like to learn about other programs besides the ones I have learned to use over the years.

I look forward to exploring other blog hosting sites, as well as photo-sharing sites as well!

So far, I am finding blogger to be very easy to use! Inserting the pic above was far easier (and quicker) in blogger than it is in LiveJournal.

Cheers,
