Week 1 Thing 2

7.5 Habits of Life Long Learner

I think the 7.5 habits help you to think about the process of learning and help you realize the things that can effect the process.


Hardest/Easiest Habits


View Problems as a Challenge - This will be the hardest habit for me since, though I wish it were not true, I am a negative thinker at times. I will do my best to stop the negative thought and look at the problem as a learning experience, which it is.


Accept Responsibility - I realize it is up to me to get the most out of this program and will be as good as I can make it and will worth what I put into it. I feel this will be the easiest habit for me.


I thought at first Play would be the obvious easy habit, but sometimes play makes me think I am not being productive. However I am looking forward to playing and finally feeling that I am a little more aware of these new modern web activities, so I feel less like an old geezer and more hip, like that is really possible, but I can at least fake it a little better. I am glad there is now this learning activity to push me to get hip.

Week 1 Thing 1

I listened to the podcast and read the blog about the Maryland 23 Things Project. I think I am ready to begin.
