The BiG BloG challenge! - not so scary after all

Our first assignment - set up a blog.

Done!

I've done this before, so the blog part was fairly easy. It's some of the next steps that will be more difficult.

The second directive - watch the 7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits - was interesting, but the fact that I was reading the text and clicking through to the next slide before the narrator had a chance to finish speaking? Probably indicative of where I'm apt to have the most probl... Er- sorry, challenges(!) acquiring the 7 1/2 habits. Can you say "patience"?

Easiest? Goals, I think. I'm already looking forward to learning about (or learning more about) the tools in the upcoming lessons. And playing :)
The opportunity to just fool around with this stuff is priceless!
Actually, the hardest for me will probably be seeing problems as challenges to be overcome. And not being negative about them. The whole positive outlook thing.

Second most difficult? That toolbox of learning resources we're supposed to build, consisting of contact information & resources we can use to learn more about what we're doing.

And how, you might wonder, is that an issue? Not the collecting of information, certainly - I'm a librarian, after all, and finding answers is my stock in trade!

But asking questions on my own behalf? Not so fun. Yes, I know that theoretically, there's no such thing as a stupid question. But who wants to be the example that proves the rule!

Before I worry too much about that, however, I might as well go see just what I'm to have the opportunity to learn!
Feel free to follow along :)
