Week # 4 - Thing 8 - RSS Feeds

I've been using RSS Feeds (news stuff) for so long I forgot my password! It was a refresher when I got back in. I love RSS Feeds because the readily available information is current! I have the mesages sent to my email so it is great. I learned that you can get RSS feeds from individual's blog (family and friends).

Week # 3 - Things 5, 6, & 7

Wow! What an explosion of information and technology. Flickr is a big place to explore with all its links. The Mashups seem like a cut-n-paste of databases. These new services are really cool. Now to find the time to play with them :). I did play and make a trading card using a photo from the Summer Reading Club. It took me awhile but I did finally figure out how to post from Flickr to this blog.

Week # 2: Blogger

Moving along here. Now I have two blogs I am apart of in my learning journey. South Cumberland Blog.

Week # 1: Lifelong Learning Habits

Which is the easiest and a hardest of the 7½ lifelong learning habits for me? The easiest habit is Habit # 2 - Accept Responsibility For Your Own Learning. I find that this Habit is a close partner to Habit # 7 1/2. I find an inherit fun quality to learning new things, of course, when it's subjects that interest me!
There is an overwhelming amount of new technology to assimilate. For this reason, I find Habit # 6 - Use Technology to Your Advantage most difficult habit. I can't learn it all fast enough. I know if I could have the time to be exposed to it and learn so much of it , then my production of stuff would be greater and quicker!
I have chosen the theme of Local Genealogy to be a part of my learning journey in Learning 2.0.
