thing # 3

My final post for the day, since I have decided to "cram" all of my learning into a shorter time frame. This post is to reflect on my experience with creating a blog and using/creating an avatar. The blogger program made creating a blog profile very easier. I am thankful for those you have put in the time to make this technology free and user friendly. I had more trouble however, creating my avatar than I did my blog. It seemed that my internet connection was running slow and so I was frustrated with having to scroll through and find the "right outfit"(how similar to real life). I am done with my person and although frustrated through the process, know I will have fun updating the look of my avatar, Star.

What a great reminder during this time in the process of learning about the 7 Habits! This is a learning path I have chosen, not been forced to complete, so the growth will be shown based on the effort on my part in the process.

Since the above is true, I think Habit 4 is the easiest for me to use. I can have confidence in myself as a competent effective learner.

On the other hand, I feel Habit 2 and 6 go together for me. Habit 2 is accepting responsibility for your own learning and often because of time commitments, it is hard for me to stay focused. Habit 6 is using technology to your advantage, and I think that this one is hard, because I often forget how useful it can be based on the time required to plan activities using technology.

This really is "a discovery adventure" as the first assignment has us reading about blogs. I haven't been out of college that long and remember when "webquest and email" were the big adventures in technology. I am so thankful Spring Branch has set up Library2Play, as I felt like technology was passing me by and I had no way to learn the newest creation. I am so excited to "remember, it's OK to play in school and have fun!"
