After a long day at the library, I like to escape to my dream vacation...scuba diving off the coast of Australia. Someday I'll be there! I loved ALL the beautiful pictures on Flickr. It was hard to select the one I liked best.

Thing #3 Create a blog, post, and add an avatar

So far everything has been fun! My biggest obstacle is not being able to type well because I injured by index finger on my right hand (caught it in the car door) and I must "hunt and peck" everything! I'm looking forward to all the "things" yet to come.

Thing #4 Register your blog

I can use a blog with my library program in many ways:

• a reflective blog of collaborative teaching experiences
• a list of book reviews
• a library newsletter
• a book club blog - a calendar of events, book reviews, pictures of club activities, etc.
• book club members (or officers) can create their own library blog

Thing #1 and Thing #2 Learning 2.0

It was fun and easy to set up a blog...at least so far! The hardest thing was deciding on a blog name. The directions were easy to follow, and it was nice knowing Mary and Debbie were there to answer any questions.

The easiest of the 7 1/2 habits is #3 "View Problems as a Challenge" since that's how I always operate. Problems are much more fun to solve if you look at them as challenges. The hardest habit is #5 "Create your own learning toolbox" because gathering books, sites, contacting people, etc, not only takes lots of time but it is critical for success.
