Week 3, Thing 7 - Create a Blog Post About Anything Technology-Related

In the paper this week I read about a Spanish language tutorial podcast online. I thought that this might be a fun way to learn some Spanish. It's very good - gives you plenty of time to repeat the words and sentences. And repeats it several times so you can really get the pronunciation down. I'm going to keep at it if I can.

Week 2, Thing 3 - Set up your own Blog

Well, this is certainly a learning experience! I finally thought I had posted something and then I couldn't find it! I then found it as a draft - but couldn't figure out how to post it. I finally found the help questions (I intend to read most of them, too) and then was able to change my draft to a post.

And now I just figured out how to rearrange my posts.

Week 1, Thing 2 - Lifelong Learning 7 1/2 Habits

The easiest habit for me is #2 Accept responsibility for your own learning. I like to rely on myself.

The hardest habit is #6 Use technology to your advantage. Somehow I have a mindblock when it comes to technology.

Week 1, Thing 1 - About this Program

I kind of like listening to the podcast telling me what I will be doing.
