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?

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.

  1. login daily to the challenge blog for updates
  2. consult my webthings guru (one of the webthings committee members) for technical questions
  3. don’t fall behind and post regularly
  4. talk with my immediate colleagues
