The lifelong learning habit which is the easiest for me is to take responsibility for my own learning. I realize that if I want to learn something, it is up to me to put forth the effort to learn it. Other people can help me, but ultimately, the responsibility for my learning falls on my own shoulders.
The lifelong learning habit which is the hardest for me is to view problems as challenges. I usually view problems as just that-problems. However, my attitude about a problem depends a great deal on the nature and circumstances of the particular problem. If the problem is something that I enjoy and am interested in, solving it is just fun. If it's something that I don't like, it's just a frustrating, vexing thing to be avoided.
By playing with Web 2.0 tools, I would like to lean to use the technology available to me to connect me with information that I'm interested in and that can help me accomplish things that I want to do. I love that information about anything is just a click away, but I hate that technology often isolates people as much as it can connect them. I'm not a technology person; I'm a people person. I really prefer face to face interaction with people. Unless I'm trying to learn how to do something, I would never waste a pretty day reading someone's blog.
Setting up the blog was not too hard. I approached it with a feeling of pure dread. Most things of a technical nature take me a while to muddle through and learn. I hate the frustration of experiencing difficulty learning new things, but I LOVE it when I have actually mastered a new skill and can put it to work for me.
