7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

The habit which will be easiest for me is to accept responsibility for my own learning. No one can force me to learn about blogging, RSS Feeds or other technology (but I must admit, NE Learns 2.0 has given me a good push!) I am really excited about learning to use these things since I have been seeing more blogs and RSS Feeds symbols on my embroidery business sights lately. And I want to be able to use them wisely, figuring out which ones will be the most beneficial to my business knowledge.
The habit I will have the most difficulty with is having confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. I keep telling myself and others that I am technology-challenged, even though I successfully use the internet for finding a lot of useful things. I also am usually able to help our library patrons find what they are looking for on the internet.

New Blogger!

I am excited to be participating in Nebraska Learns 2.0. Even though I started on the first 2 "things" October 7, I just kept procrastinating about setting up my blog until tonight. I tried earlier in the evening, but Blogger just kept giving me one more word verification to type in (and of course my password kept disappearing), so I quit for several hours. And now here I am - a blogger!
