I am signing up for the Nebraska Learns 2.0 online learning program. To complete it, I will be posting on my blog once a month about different activities I am completing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. The program was designed for people connected with libraries to participate in, but if you are interested, you can still participate. Find out more information by visiting http://nelearns.blogspot.com/ The goal of the program is to encourage participants to experiment with and learn about the new and emerging technologies that are reshaping the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other. I am very excited to participate in this program. The first project is about playing with online photo editing sites! I can't wait to learn new things that I know I will be able to make use of especially in my scrapbooking!
The prerequisite for enrolling in the course was to watch a short presentation about the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners. The Habits are as follows:
Habit 1: Begin with the end in mind
Habit 2: Accept responsibility for your own learning
Habit 3: View problems as challenges
Habit 4: Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner
Habit 5: Create your own learning toolbox
Habit 6: Use technology to your advantage
Habit 7: Teach/mentor other
Habit 7 1/2: Play
I think the hardest of these habits for me is to begin with an end in mind. I don't have problems setting goals - I've got some. But I have problems putting completion dates on these goals and following through with them. That is definitely something I need to work on to make me be a more successful person. That would help in my work at the library along with my goals/dreams/aspirations for both my Pampered Chef and Close to My Heart businesses.
Something else I found very interesting about the video is that it said, "The words you use to describe yourself will soon become reality." "Don't think or say it unless you want it to be true." Those words seem kind of scary, if you think about it. I will definitely work harder on keeping that in mind. I think everybody would do well to consider that food for thought for the day!
That is also one of the reasons I am really looking forward to this class. I think it will definitely give me many ideas that will help out with my businesses and help me to network with other people. I will also be posting my results from each session on my blog. So keep a look out this month for some wacky photos! I can't wait to start playing!!
Happy Friday!
