The 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning were very interesting to me! I think the easiest of these for me would be accepting responsibility for my own learning. I believe that this is something that everyone needs to do. Sitting around and waiting for someone else to come along and learn things for you is not an option. When I do poorly on a test, I don't put the blame on anyone else but myself. I obviously didn't do all that I could to learn that material. The responsibility is mine, not anyone else's.
The hardest of the habits for me would have to be having confidence in myself. I am very guilty of second guessing myself. It doesn't matter how much I study, I always feel like I don't know enough, but I always end up knowing more than I think I do. I need to learn to trust myself when it comes to what I know, instead of freaking out and thinking that I'm doing it wrong.
By playing with Web 2.0, I want to learn about the tools that I are available to me to use in the classroom. I have never written a blog before, so this is a whole new experience for me! It wasn't that hard, I just had to play around with things until I figured out how to do what I was trying to do. I think that this project will be very beneficial, as well as fun! I am looking forward to doing more and learning more as I go along!
Very cute blog! Just like you, I had to play around with the 2.0 tools and blogging to realize what I was doing. You made very good points on accepting responsibility and never second guessing oneself. Well done!

Your blog is adorable and very teacher-like! You will be fine I am following your blog, I think good things are going to come from you.
ReplyDeleteVery cute blog! :)I understand what you mean by second guessing yourself and not being confident. I can totally relate to that. I sometimes find myself doing the same thing. I agree with Sunny Peterson, I always find it easier to go with your gut feeling no matter what. Most of the time your gut is right. Very good so far!
