Thing #1:

I have created and used a blog before, but this site is set up a little differently. So, it will take some time for me to get comfortable with everything here. Through this experience and this class I want to learn about technology tools that will aid my future students in their learning.

Being a lifelong learner has been instilled in me since elementary school. In fact, it was part of our mission statement that we recited every morning! I also want my future students to become lifelong learners too. Out of the "7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning", I would say that habit #1 ("begin with the end in mind") is the easiest for me. I am a planner and I am always looking toward (worrying, usually) about my future. "Accept responsibility for your own learning" (habit #2) is another easy one for me because if no one can accept that responsibility but me. Habit #3 ("View problems as challenges") is probably the hardest for me because problems throw off my focus and challenges are difficult for me, but I guess they are called "challenges" for a reason.
