23 things I will finish before June
I love learning new skills, and since my employer and industry nurture lifelong learners I am taking up their challenge based on Charlotte/Mecklenburg Library’s learning 2.0 program for its staff to complete 23 things. The goal: understand and use the features of web 2.0. The reward? Free mp3 player AND more importantly the knowledge and skills and the confidence to stay current in my field. I have completed the 1st 4 things
19 more to go–
I will say that the most “challenging” aspect thus far is the completion of the “Learning Contract” which is part of thing #2–Lifelong Learners tutorial–I can say that of the seven and a half habits of lifelong learners the most difficult is
Habit #1 Visualize the end
Why is that? well i have a hard time actually visualizing the steps it takes to get somewhere and I also am not always clear about what the end will look like so perhaps I will start with the steps first since those have been provided in part by the design of the challenge.
