Thing 1

I have looked at thing 1 and I certainly agree with the concept of learning by experimenting. I think everyone to a certain degree can benefit with this, however it seems that there is not enough time to use this method with so many tests!

As far as my experience in setting up the blog, it was a mess!! Really actually the blog wasn't that hard it was the avatar. I had to seek outside help in getting this done. My experience all in all was bad, however I hope exploring the "23 things" is fun. I look forward to moving on.

The easiest habit of lifelong learners for me was habit 1: begin with the end in mind. I tend to think of what I want and then work backwards. I try to create steps to get to the ultimate goal I have set for myself.

The hardest habit is habit 3: view problems as challenges. I am really bad about tuning out or loosing confidence when things become a challenge. I don't feel this way about all problems, however if it is something that is new to me totally or something I know nothing about I become intimidated and shut down.

I would like to learn anything I can about Web 2.0. I like to share with my students and because I work with visually impaired students I really like to share technology ideas because they are so fast at catching on and entertaining themselves with it. So anything I pick up here I will pass on to them!!
