IM

Still working on Nebraska Learns 2.0. This week's assignment: instant messaging. I tried out Meebo. Didn't have a lot of time to work with it but plan to go back and play with it more later.

Lifelong Learning

As a participant in Nebraska Learns 2.0, I've been introduced to the 7.5 habits of lifelong learning and asked to think about which would be most difficult and easiest for me. The most difficult would be a combination of setting a specific goal and beginning with an end in mind. For me learning is a dessert buffet, where I can sample tasty tidbits, whet my appetite, and move on to the next treat. I often don't have a goal for any outcome beyond satisfying my curiosity. Maybe that's enough.

I think it will be easiest for me to see problems as challenges. I enjoy facing challenges.

The Beginning

This empty space is strangely intimidating, like leaning over a precipice and looking down . . . down . . . down. I'll drop a word or two and see how they land.
