Learning 2.0 Exercises 1 & 2

After I set up my blog, I went back to Exercises 1 and 2 and decided to post a few notes on them. I must say that I was very impressed with the Charlotte & Meclenburg Public Library podcast and the work that went into it. I can see why SJPL's Virtual Services Team decided to use their material. I started out with a bang last week--doing Exercises 1 through 4--and I hope I can continue at this pace.

Learning 2.0 Exercises 3 & 4

I set up my blog last week...actually I created two blogs! The first time I went through the steps I thought it didn't work so I did it again. I posted my first comments on the 2nd blog so it was the one I decided to use. I'd like to learn how to delete the first one...

I also registered my blog (the second one) with the Virtual Services Team. I guess this means I have successfuly completed the first 4 items on the list of 23.

Exercise 2: 7.5 Habits of Life Long Learning

The habit I find the easiest is #2--accepting responsibility for my own learning. I have always participated fully in any class or workshop I have attended. I read extensively and believe you learn something every time you read.

The habit that I find the most difficult is accepting problems as challenges. There are times when I feel that one more problem will cause me to scream...or start beating my head against a wall. However, here at SJPL you do need to take change in stride so hopefully I can overcome this.

Post #1

This is my first post ever on a blog--my own or anyone elses. I hope it will become an easier experience as time goes by. This blog will chart my experience as I go through the Learning 2.0 exercises.
