Week 2, Things 3 and 4

I took quite a bit of time trying to come up with a name for my blog and sat down with the dictionary and found a name! Since I hadn't blogged before and don't use MySpace or any other type of electronic journals, I asked a younger member of the staff to assist me. And I typed my first post. I then filled out the online registration form to be sent to the liaison for BCPL.

Week 1, Things 1 and 2

Read the blog about the 23 Things program and anticipate broadening my horizons with regard to all the sites and information available on the web. Seeing all the different exercises listed and all the websites seems like a daunting task that lies ahead, but I'll take them one at a time with some assistance when needed.
Read the tutorial about the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners. A lot of the habits you can acquire just from living and learning as you go along through your life--Habit #2 accepting responsibility for your own learning is crucial to your success in life as you can only advance yourself of your own accord--nobody can do it for you!
It's is sometime hard not to view problems as problems and not challenges. But if you stick with something and do it, you will gain confidence in yourself. I'm not really into all the technology that someone younger than myself might be; however, I'm open to looking, learning, keeping an open mind and trying.

Weeks 1 and 2

I look forward to learning all 23 Things (with a little help along the way) and setting up my blog. I find this to be a great learning experience and an interesting way to try out some new things on the technology front.
