Thing 2 - 7 1/2 Habits

The 7 1/2 habits made me think about all of the different ways I could apply them to other areas of my life. Among the habits, the easiest for me is to play. I enjoy having fun and bringing fun and laughter to all aspects of life. I have always enjoyed learning and having fun while learning heightens the experience for me.

The most difficult habit for me is to use technology to my advantage. Don't get me wrong - I use technology a lot in many aspects of my life, but I know there is a great deal out there that I still need to learn in order to take full advantage of today's ever-growing technology.

Since the introduction of computers into my life, I have discovered that I do my best learning by actually getting out there and doing. I find that I rarely look at a manual that comes with a new software program. I'm a firm believer in the idea of just jumping in there and trying to figure things out as a go - the true self-learner.

Learning 2.0 - Let the fun begin!

I'm really excited about all of the things we will learn during the next few weeks. I feel like I know a lot about technology, but not nearly as much as I should. I am constantly realizing that there are so many different ways that technology affects our lives. I'm always ready to learn more. Let the fun begin!
