Thing # 1 Read This BLOG and Learn...

"Emerging technologies and the WEB and the changing ways that people communicate."...and I am to be afforded the opportunity to strike out and learn this technology and ahead of most. As I work through these 23 items, I too will become more aware and be able to make and use: blogs, wikis, podcasting, video and image hosting sites. Imagine! I am really psyched about this technology, and even though, up to now, I have hung back instead of jumping in...I am now ready to go! (Where is my bathing suit? Never mind...)

Thing # 2-- Pointers...7 1/2 Life Long Learnig Habits

The EASIEST habit for me is:
# 6 Use Technology to Your Advantage.
I have access to a great deal of technology, as well as owing digital cameras, an iPod, laptops, printer. I also work with others who have a great deal of technology experience, so I will have mentors on which to call.

The HARDEST havit for me is:
# 4 Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.
I often hang back watching others progress, work out the solutions/issues. I like to study other learners and learn from them. I then am ready to work with/teach others.

#2--7 1/2 Habits

Interesting how when I grew up, there was only one way to learn...and that was the teacher's way. Thankfully, times have progressed and we have determined that everyone learns differently; visually, auditorily, manipulatives, etc.

Life long learning is what our public library is all about. Students, old or young, male or female, short or tall, thin or round, set their own goals and seek the subsequent answers in the public library. We are striving to meet their various learning styles with books, computers, AV, activities, classes, etc.
