Thing #1

I am Wendy Matheney. I am an Education Major, 4-8 with a Social Studies and Science cognate. This is my blog for Thing #1. I watched the video slide for Life Long Learning Habits, and I feel the easiest habit for me is setting up goals. I have always been a list person, carrying a small notebook in my purse. I often keep track of my goal for the day, all the way to my goals before I die. I feel like by writing them down I won't lose them. They are always on my mind though. If I don't achieve a goal by a certain time, I don't get upset, I just keep it on my goal list. If it is a goal of time sensitivity, I make it a priority. The habit I felt was the hardest for me was using technology to my advantage. It is a good thing I'm in this class. If I am using a computer, VCR, anything technological, and it doesn't pop right up for me, I get upset and that makes it worse. Not knowing enough about them, and the fear they won;t work makes me avoid them. I hope that by learning to use the web 2.0 tools I will be more comfortable with technology. Setting up this blog today, was easier than I expected it to be. It gives me a confident feeling having completed it successfully. I look forward to the remainder of the 23 things, and this technology class.
