Thing #1

Being a Lifelong Learner... The hardest of these habits for me would be to create my own learning toolbox! Sometimes I don't know exactly what I will need, or where to go for information, so I tend to have an overload of tools! Finding specific tools and resources that best fit anything I am doing would be ideal, but I have not quite mastered that! The easiest of these habits for me would be that I take responsibilty for my own learning. Nothing I have accomplished so far in my education could have been done if I did not put this habit into practice. I made a consious decision that no matter what the circumstance; having a child, moving cross country, or financial set back, I was going to make it through college, and continue to graduate school...which is where I have made it to!! GO ME! However I will not stop taking responsiblity for my own learning EVER, there is no time when you can have to much knowledge, as a future educator I find this to be very important to remember and instill in students. Web 2.0 is something that before this class I wasn't aware I had used. After discovering what defines Web 2.0, I know now that I have in fact used it, and will be doing so quite a bit more within this class. For instance just by setting up this blog I am using Web 2.0!! Blogger has made this process incredibly easy. I am very excited to "track" our progress through class, and most likely continue with a blog thereafter!
