I consider myself to be quite and organized person, and I have taken online classes, so such steps as "accepting responsibility for your own learning" and "create your own learning toolbox" are a piece of cake for me.
My big challenge is to "view problems as challenges." In fact, I don't think this is just an issue for me in learning, but in life in general. I see myself as more of a "view the problem and panic" kind of person. This is especially true when it comes to technology. If I can't figure out how to do something right away, I tend to get frustrated and scared. So I am very happy that we are doing these 27 Things in a very organized and supportive environment. At least for this project, I have coworkers to help me and remind me not to panic!
Well, it looks like you no trouble setting up your blog! Glad you're here!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Marissa, Good to "see" you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've noticed a definite trend in responses to this "look at problems as challenges" "habit" -
ReplyDeleteMost of us do NOT look at problems as challenges. Most of us look at at them as PROBLEMS. (as Sabrina said earlier).
But we will take deep breaths and try to LOOK at them as challenges. And with a little help from our friends, they will shrink down and become merely challenges-
And we WILL prevail.
It's the "little help from our friends" that will help us pull it off...
And yeah, I'm glad we're doing these "things", too. As Anne said somewhere, it really is helping connect us all. And in a pretty fluid, open environment.
Kind of interesting...
