No. 3 Week 1

While not my first blog, I still hope to learn a thing or three. My first impressions of School Library Learning 2.0 is that it is intended for a wide audience with varying skills. I know and have used many of the sites that have been mentioned, but I have not used Odeo, PBWiki, or Bloglines, so I'm looking forward to playing with those sites.

Navigating the School Library Learning 2.0 blog is not quite intuitive. I haven't had any trouble finding my way, but there are times when I'm not sure whether I should keep following a link to continue to the next point or continue reading to the bottom of the page. I know, I know it's all about the exploration!

The Life Long Learners slide show reminded me, slightly, of an author I'm listening to right now, John Gatto

Check him out. Do it. Do it.

Worst Habit: Begin with the end in mind. This is probably hardest for me because once I start learning new things I just want to follow my curiosity rather than learning towards a specific goal. It's easy for me to get lost in all the new information. I have a great time, but I don't always get to point B. I'm hoping the 23 things will give me the structure-ur-ur-ur I need.

Best Habit: Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner. Yeah this is simple. It clicked for me in college reading the Theatetus. At some point I realized I could learn anything. It might take some time but there is nothing I or anyone else can't learn.

Alright on to 4. So long and thanks for all the fish.

PS- I thought EFF's Bloggers Legal Guide would be a good link to start with.
