School Library Learning 2.0 #1-4

Hi,

#1 When I first read about this program I thought it would be a wonderful way for me to get up to speed on Web 2.0 applications and uses. Then in the crush of end of year duties I forgot about it. What a pleasure to finally have time to get started. I enjoyed reading the overview of the program.

#2 When listening to the lifelong learning pointers, I thought about the hardest thing for me and decided that it was viewing problems as challenges. When I first encounter a problem, I tend to get frustrated and can't see it as a way of growing. It's only when I come back to it later that I'm determined to find out how to overcome or get around it. Then I can be obsessed until I've figured it out!

The easiest thing for me is setting a goal and then accepting responsibility for my own learning. I enjoy expanding my horizons.

#3 Setting up my blog was easier than I had thought it would be. At the end of May, our school district had offered a Google training and I had set up a Google email account then, so setting up the blog was very quick. In order to get going, I chose a template, but it could be fun to design my own.
It took longer to make all the selections for my avatar. While what I chose is pretty conservative, it was fun to see all the varied options. Again, exporting it was easier than I had thought it would be.

#4 Now that I've registered, I'm really ready to go!
