Not sure what week we are up to?!?!?!?!?

This week in learning web 2.0 we learned about RSS and newsreaders etc or was that last weeks? I can't quite work out which week we are up to?!?!?!?

I joined bloglines but now I have to rememeber to actually login and check it...just another thing...at the rate I am going I will be online 24 hours a day :-) So far I have mostly just subscribed to blogs belonging to my friends. Bloglines is great, I don't have to remember the URL's for everyone's blogs and I can see at a glance if they have added a post. Isn't technology wonderful??? It saves time and connects us all...well it connects us who have access to the net. I have a friend at a convent in France who wants me to write her a real letter on paper and post it!!!!!!! Do I even remember how????

I saw the movie Stardust today...it was fantastic I recommend it for anyone to see. Fairytale, romance, comedy, etc. great for the whole family.

"We always knew you were a whoopsie" Stardust.

This will NOT be a surprise for those of you who know me...and I didn't cheat!!!

You Are Miss Piggy

A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it. You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less. You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way. Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!

The Muppet Personality Test

My first post (the boring one)

I just thought I would mention first off that I am not a Librarian yet, I am currently a Library Technician, I will be a Librarian in about 3 more years of part time study but when I tried to name my blog "Random thoughts from a drama queen library technician" it was too many characters..... :-(

So I think in our first blog we are supposed to talk about which habit we would have trouble with and which habit we would find the easiest from "The Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners"

Habit 1 – Begin with the end in mind

Habit 2 – Accept responsibility for your own learning

Habit 3 – View problems as challenges

Habit 4 – Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner

Habit 5 – Create your own learning toolbox

Habit 6 – Use technology to your advantage

Habit 7 – Teach and mentor others

Habit 7 ½ – PLAY!Have fun! It's never too late to become a lifelong learner.

I guess the easiest habit for me would be Habit 7 ½ – PLAY! Have fun! It's never too late to become a lifelong learner. I love playing with new technology, and I have already used quite a few things we are covering in Learning Web 2.0 e.g. myspace, facebook, wiki's, youtube etc. So I think the next 9 weeks are going to be quite fun.

The hardest habit for me would probably be Habit 7 – Teach and mentor others. I have a terrible habit of getting excited and talking too fast when I am trying to explain things to people. I am getting a bit better at it as I get older and I hope that I am becoming more patient with people when they can't keep up with me. (I sound very arrogant don't I???)

I usually like to finish off my blogs with a quote and my favourite quote at the moment is:

"True friends stab you in the front."
Oscar Wilde.
