Thing #1

The lifelong learning habit that is hard for me is Habit 6, which is use technology to your advantage. I tend to shy away from anything that is technology-based. I like to keep things simple and I see technology as complicated. However, I'm beginning to see how technology can simplify life if you give it a chance. The lifelong learning habit that is easy for me is Habit 7 1/2, which is play. I always look forward to the times when you get to try out something you've just learned.

My experience setting up a blog was an interesting process. I'm a very indecisive person in general, but more so when I'm doing something for the first time. It took me forever to pick out a name for my blog simply because I didn't want to do something that wasn't right. My most frustrating moment was when a realized that I didn't know the difference between a blog and a post because I had accidentally created a blog for my Thing #1. I was embarrassed and wanted to delete the extra blog immediately but couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. I finally figured out how after playing around with the different tabs. I’ve been dreading the whole creating my own blog thing, but I think it’s growing on me! I hope to learn as much as possible about the Web 2.0 tools.
