Week 1

Thing 1:

I love that this is available for us as CSLA members.  Collaborating with teachers and working with students on web 2.0 skills is something I look forward to.  I hope to finish this before summer (my first goal - see Thing 2)

Thing 2:

7-1/2 Habits of Highly Effective Learners

1.  Determine your goals.

2.  Accept responsibility for your own learning.

3.  View problems as challenges.

4.  Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.

5.  Create a learning toolbox.

6.  Use technology to your advantage.

7.  Teach/mentor others.

7-1/2  Play!

For me, the easiest of these habits is to play.  Once I learn a new skill, I enjoy using it.

The hardest of the habits is sitting down and determining my goals and getting started.  For example, I have wanted to learn more web 2.0 skills for some time.  

The most important of these habits is to teach/mentor others.  It helps me gain a deeper level of understanding, but also helps me share my knowledge with others so they may gain a new skill as well.
