Thing # 1

In learning about the 7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits I feel that the the hardest of these for me is habit # 3, to view problems as challenges. It is much easier for me to see a problem as just that, a problem, something that is creating difficulty in my life. I like the idea of thinking of a problem as a challenge that you can learn from and I will attempt to view my next "problem" as a learning opportunity.

The easiest habit for me is habit # 6, the best way to learn something is to teach it. I have always found that if I understand something, or even just have a slight understanding about it, once I explain it to someone else it always becomes more clear. I am also more likely to remember something after explaining it. There are times when I am learning about something, especially if I am struggling with it, that I will stop and explain it to anyone who will listen.

In web 2.0 I would like to learn about all of the different tools that are available to help me as a student and as a teacher. I know I have a lot to learn! Setting up my blog was much easier than I thought. I am nervous about the other 22 steps, but I am excited about the knowledge I will have gained about web 2.o when I am finished.
