3rd Thing Vodcasts

3rd Thing Vodcasts: Listened to the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners. The easiest habit for me is the one of teaching/mentoring. Even though I didn't think I ever wanted to become a teacher, one of the obvious choices for an English major, it does appear that I have an aptitude for teaching or so I have been told by some co-workers. And I do find I enjoy it! The hardest habit? I guess I would have to choose 'Play' out of the list. It really depends on what the subject is though because if it's a subject of interest to me, I can definately learn and play at the same time. Other subjects maybe not!

2nd Thing - Blogging

2nd Thing Blogging: Creating a blog was very convoluted for me but I'm here. Trying it on my own last week was a somewhat dispiriting start as the protocol was not readily apparent to me. This week though with formal instructions and Sherida's help (Thank you Sherida) I'm making my first post. (Remembering all the sets of logins, passwords, etc. is definately essential and worth making a record.) What looks like fun to me is layout with the ability to change colors and insert images taking me back to my Children's Librarian days of Print Shop and program flyers. I did decide not to share a profile but would be happy to discuss favorite movies and books in person with you all. (Ask me about last week's IMAX adventure!)
