Thing 3..Blogging for Education

Blogging is a great way to reflect on things I learn throughout the education program. It is a way for me to share what Ive learned with others, and also a way to be able to come back and reflect on things I may have forgotten when I start my career. It will be wise for me to blog about techniques I learn, such as things that work in the classroom and things that do not.
Also, when I start my career, I can start a blog about my teaching experiences, and keep a record of all sorts of things. blogs might just become a big part of my future. :)

Thing 2...who is that?

It was not a very difficult process to create my blog, however, it was somewhat of a long process. Hopefully my blog reflects who I am as I go through the 23 Things process.The user name I chose is a nickname that only my best friend understands completely, followed by my last name. I am coincident that it suits my blog and personality pretty well. I believe..no, i know my avatar reflects my personality well. This is usually my typical outfit day to day; I am a tom boy with a slight girly side. I love dark jeans and converse, but I also love accessories and my long hair brushed down (i dislike ponytails).

Thing 1..New at this

After watching the video on Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners,

  http://www.slideshare.net/LoriReed/7-12-habits-of-lifelong-learners 

I have come to the conclusion that the most difficult habit for me would be having confidence in myself as a competent learner. I tend to have doubts about how smart I am because I have always had to work hard for my good grades and being able to memorize things or stay on task.  However, the easiest habit for me would definitely be starting with the end in mind. Whenever I start something, be it a project, essay, job, etc. I always try to think about what I need to do in order to get to the end and how it will feel when the end is reached. Although I will admit I did a lot of it in grade school, I strongly dislike procrastinating, for the simple fact that it causes unnecessary stress. If I just plan out the work and do it in a timely manner, all will go well.

Also, I got the luxury of playing around with the Web 2.0 tools, and setting up this blog. It was not hard to set up this blog and I am already taking a liking to the posting my opinions; i hope others will take an interest in my posts as well.
