I am excited about the “things” we will be learning about in Web 2.0.  I was amazed at the information in the video regarding teacher blogs and the use of those to help students and communicate.  I look forward to setting up my blog site and hope to increase my knowledge in the coming weeks regarding blogging.  The use of this will help me in my own learning process and hopefully engage my students and parents after this course is over.

The habit that I find most challenging in this course is to view my problems as challenges.  It is just my nature to become frustrated, especially in the area of technology, and to view my problems as problems, not a challenge to overcome.  I hope to change that mentality as I become more proficient at the skills we are learning and pass this thought of viewing any problem as simply a challenge to my students.

The habit I find easiest as a lifelong learner is to accept responsibility for my own learning.  I have always been one to try to figure out things on my own and am very driven to succeed in what I begin. 

The most important habit for me as I work through this course will be to play.  Sometimes I get caught up in the “task” and forget to enjoy it along the way.  I want to become more comfortable and confident and begin to play and enjoy the possibilities that technology and our Web 2.0 class will open up.
