Week 2, Thing 4: Register Your Blog

My blog is registered.

Week 2, Thing 3: Set Up A Blog & Create A Post

It took me a while to set up my first blog. I was trying to go back and change something and ended up missing a step. Then I had to delete my blog and start over.

It did take some time to create a URL for my blog, because other people thought of my address first. Now it works, but it is long.

Week 1, Thing 2: Lifelong Learners

I have never thought about this, but as a learner I am in control of my own learning even if someone else is giving the grades.

I have always been a learner, but didn't necessarily classify myself as a learner in situations where I might be reading a manual to fix the toilet, or just reading the directions on how to cook a microwave meal.

We truly are lifelong learners, learning something new every moment of every day.

Week 1, Thing 1: About This Program

This will be a very effective and time saving way for many staff to learn at their own pace.

7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

Easiest Habit
Play: I learn best by doing. I am encouraged to go further when I enjoy and understand what I am learning.

Hardest Habit
Use technology to your advantage: I do use the internet, but beyond that I do not easily expand without assitance from someone who is knowledgable partly due to the time involved for me in learning new technologies. I will read the manuals and try it on my own first when a person resource is not an option.
