Some of the people who put the fun in my days at the library

# 7: Technology

I'm afraid the Flickr and tags, groups, etc. just went over my head. I do appreciate the technology that is available to share photos. I don't have a digital camera or a scanner but I did take a look at the Picasa site. We have limited technology here at home. I have two book discussion groups to read and prepare for here at home so I have to limit my time exploring any technology other than any that will help me make the most of the time that I do have. I wasn't able to open the podcast which I'm sure would have helped me understand this week's "thing."

Week 2, Creating a blog

I was a little afraid of creating the blog but after reading some that were already done by others at FCPL, I was encouraged to forge ahead. Although I'm not sure how I ended up with the template that I did, I'm content to keep it. I'm working on this from home so I'm not able to listen to the podcasts very easily. I actually had to allow them to load while I did other things for hours before I could actually listen to the audio and view the slide presentation for the first week's assignment. I will try to continue to work on these 23 Things. Several times, I have gone to withdraw from it but couldn't seem to bring myself to do the deed. I want to do this for myself -- not for the CEUs that can be earned.

7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits

The hardest habit for me has been viewing problems as a challenge. I have had a tendency to view those sneaky daily problems as one crisis after another but with support from my co-workers whom I also consider to be dear friends, I'm learning to be flexible. I'm so grateful to work with such forgiving and accepting people!

I do think the easiest habit for me is confidence in myself as an effective learner. I do get a little nervous about learning something new but there is always someone there to help out along the way.
