Thing #4

I'm in! Got my official confirmation this morning. Not too difficult. Ok, on to #5!

Thing #3

Not easy. Creating the Avatar was fun; setting up the account was not. I created two because I had so many choices! Depending on my mood, I can choose. I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to export and import the avatar to my blog. Couldn't figure out where to put the code! Finally copied the file to my desktop and imported as a picture. There must be an easier way.

I did visit some blogs just to see what people were doing. I even commented on one of them.

Thing #2

I wasn't sure I could get this far without help. Reading and following directions are not my strong suites, but I did. I am determined to commit to willingness to learn new things, seek help when I need it, and not get bummed out whenver I encounter an obstacle.

So, what what is the easiest? Setting the goal. Very easy for me to identify a skill that I want to learn; it is a big world out there filled with so many interesting opportunities. I love the backwards model. The most difficult is is #5 - believing in myself as effective, competent learner. So easy to get bogged down in technical difficulties or inablility to follow directions. But I am going to stay on top of it and continually remind myself that I am both competent and capable.
