Hi - This is my first blog and my first blog post. I'll repeat some of what I said in my posted comment on the Learning 2.0 blog. I chose Habit 4, having confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner, as the easy habit to achieve, however, due to my aging brain and faulty memory, I'm not sure "easy" is the correct word. I can relate to habit 4, more than the others, however. The difficult one, as it is for many of you, is seeing problems as challenges. I tend to be intimidated by problems first and ask questions later.

As part of the boomer generation, I don't find using new technology intuitive or comfortable. I do like learning and have always thought of myself as a life-long learner. I have continued to take a variety of classes since graduating from library school, although I've been somewhat less successful at immediately putting what I've learned into practice. I'm hoping the tools and habits I'll learn in this class will help me be braver and more motivated in that arena.
