Thing 3

Designing my avatar was a blast! I can be anything I want! It was like playing with paperdolls again. I really liked the ease of changing/adding features to my "other identity". I have seen avatars before, but I would not have had a clue about how to proceed with designing one. I'm learning many new things already.

Thing 2

The 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners was interesting. There were many items on the list that I do without realizing it. The easiest for me is to accept responsibility for my own learning. I have always been motivated to see things through to the outcome. In school projects it was always hard to work in partners or groups because it was hard to rely on others. I guess I didn't want to turn over the control to someone else. This leads to my hardest habit which is create your own learning toolbox. I have a hard time asking others for help and support. I usually only do that when I have driven myself crazy.

Thing 1

I hope to learn what so many people are buzzing about in regards to technology. I feel like I am only on the fringe of the things so many people are talking about and using daily. I felt like setting up the blog was the easy part, keeping it up will be harder for me. I am not a writer by nature, so sharing thoughts and ideas will be more difficult for me. I am excited about the new experience and being led along the path. The list of 23 things is a great guide to show me where I need to go next.
