I consider myself a lifelong learner. I have spent a large part of my adult life attending university classes, for one purpose or another. As for the easiest habit, I take full responsibility for my learning. I work hard at learning, and try to learn something (however trivial and useless:) every day.
The hardest thing for me to do is use technology to my advantage. While I have no problem researching something on the Web, I have not even attempted to do some of the things that many people are doing. I do not own an iPod, have never downloaded music, have no clue how to IM, or create a podcast. I feel I am technologically inferior to most people, especially the younger generation. My cell phone is several years old, and doesn't have any ringtones downloaded to it, but it doesn't matter because I rarely use it-- about 10 minutes per month for calls and the occasional (2-3 per month) text message. I see these smart phones my students use and think, "I don't want to be connected 24-7."
I have to admit that I was somewhat intimidated at the thought of setting up a blog, and I'm still not sure what I'm doing with it. But it appears that, as is often the case, I was simply fearing the unknown.
However, I do realize the need to become more technologically savvy, and that is my main goal in taking EDUC 5611. If I don't get my self more up-to-date on technology, my students will leave me even further behind.
