Thing #3 - Creating a Blog

Wow! Creating a blog was easy. When you follow the exact steps, it isn't so hard. What I found was the more difficult part was changing the settings and the layout and figuring it all out. I think the key to your blog and blogging is to sit down and play around with it. I definitely had fun creating my avatar. I had never even heard about an avatar before. I am looking forward to using my blog and also reading some of the other blogs on this website.

Thing #2 - 7 1/2 Habits of a Lifelong Learner

As I was listening to 7 1/2 habits of a lifelong learner, I thought to myself that these things aren't as hard to follow if you put your mind to it. But, isn't that with anything. You have to put your mind to it, set a goal, and work towards it. I love to set goals and finish them. I would find that to be the easiest habit. I can always begin something with an end in mind. I tend to finish my goals. I won't let them drop until they are finished. Sometimes, it takes me years to finish my goals but I will do it. It all is in the fact that I made up my mind to finish my goal and and I had an end in mind. But, on the other hand, I do struggle with the challenges. That is probably the hardest habit that I have. I sometimes don't view the problems as a challange but more as a problem or something to get in the way. I do have to work harder to get in the mode of viewing problems as a challange. I think about the 7 1/2 habits of a lifelong learner and I am going to recommend this powerpoint to my principal. I am a team leader for our school and I feel like showing this at the beginning of the year to all of the teachers will be a plus for our school.
