Week 2, Thing #3, Set up a blog

Set up a blog? No, I don't think so...Oh, it's required, huh? Any way I can keep other people from reading it? See, I really don't like blogs much...unless they have good information about knitting...I don't quite understand why people want to broadcast their lives to the world...just not my style...still, if it's required...I soon found the way to delete a blog, and that made me feel better...Now, how does one name a blog? This is not a responsibility to be taken lightly!

Blog set up, deleted, and set up again...the avatar was fun...sort of like paper dolls...very young-looking paper dolls!...I finally figured out how to change the hair color, but now I can't find the button for "brown-turning-gray"! Couldn't go with the library backgrounds, either...if we're talking books, I want a comfy chair and a cat...laptop works well in this setting too, except when the cat insists on sitting on the keyboard!

Week 1, Thing #2, Life-long Learning

Life-long learning...none of the 7 1/2 habits particularly surprised me, except possibly the toolbox...I don't think I've ever thought of it quite like that...Play is pretty easy for me...I think we learn better when things are fun...challenges attract me, although I often end up fighting them through rather than learning gracefully...crashes of confidence are not unusual...I'm pretty good at making goals, and often focused (could one say tunnel-visioned?) on meeting them...

Week 1, Thing # 1, Getting Started

School Library Learning 2.0...sounded interesting from the very beginning. Thanks to CSLA for sending out reminders to get us moving. All three high school librarians in our district decided to go for it after a lengthy email discussion. It took getting through Things # 1-3, but we are getting pretty excited about it now. Sharing will make it much easier to get to week 9, I think...as long as at least one of us understands each new Thing!
