Week 2, Thing 4- Register your blog and track your progress.
After I had registered my blog, it was fun to see it listed amoung the other participants' blogs.
I have been exploring and checking out some of my c0-workers blogs. And now I'm in the running for the big prizes.
Week 2, Thing 3 Setting up the blog- It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. If I can do it anybody can do it. It did take longer than 3 minutes, but not too much more.
Week 1- Thing 2, Pointers from Lifelong learners. In my test post I covered the easiest and hardest habits, or at least what I feel will be for me. It may change as I progress with the program. One thing that I have discovered in logging in to Blogger is that you have to included the entire e-mail address. I guess we are so spoiled in bcpl in that we don't have to use the whole address in our e-mail program. When doing my test post, and after getting many messages telling me my username was incorrect. I figured out what I was doing wrong. Good you say. Until the next time I tried to make a post and made the same mistake. Now I think I finally got it right.
Week 1- Thing 1 Introduction to the Program- It was interesting to read about the history of the program and the reasons behind it. It was also the first time I had listened to a Podcast. I'm sure there will be many more "firsts" for me as I go through the program.

Alright it is week 2 and I have just finished creating my blog. It did take a tad longer than 3 minutes. Give me a break. But now it is done and I am happy.
Addressing the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners. I think the hardest for me will be Habit 3: View problems as challenges. I think I view problems as well, problems. I have faced the challenge of creating my blog, and so far I think I am ahead.
The easy one seems to be Habit: 7 to teach/mentor others. Even though I don't feel totally sure about what I am doing at this point. I have shown two other staff member how to get started. I am looking forward to learning together and having fun.
