I really enjoyed the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning! I think that the habits are great and essential to all people--especially educators. I think the most challenging habit for me is "have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner." I am not an overall unconfident person; however, I can be easily intimidated when learning new things. I start off strong and excited but get easily frustrated if I do not learn something easily. I also get intimidated by others that know much about the subject area because I feel that I will never be able to learn all that they know. I am learning that everyone has to start somewhere. The least challenging is "use technology to your advantage." I am a avid fan of modern technology. Technology makes learning so accessible! It is easy to access resources online or buy computer programs to learn about any topic. Computers, iphones, ipads, and other similar technology makes learn constantly right at my fingertips. I hope to implement all 7 and 1/2 habits into my life. Learning is good for the mind, and I hope to take part in it for a lifetime!

I am so thankful for people like you who are adept at all of these programs that I am just learning - especially when I sit by you in class. Thanks again for all of your help. I like how you've included pictures in your posts - might have to steal that idea. I just hope I don't have to bother you to help me figure it out! I checked out your other blog. You and Alex are "marriage-wise" beyond your years and blessed with a compassionate relationship. I look forward to following this blog spreading love.
