Week 2 - Avatar

Thanks for the various suggestions to get the avatar to work. Finally what did work was to save it to my desktop and upload it to the blog from my computer. Yea!

Week 2 - Exercise 3 & 4

I customized this blog slightly and worked on my avatar. I created it on Yahoo but haven't been able to load it as an image on this site. If you click on Yahoo!Avatars on my homepage it is a link to the image I created. It's a picture of me in my math classroom in the middle of the cooking project that Jani and I developed. One problem seems to be that anyone who clicks on the link can modify the avatar... Help anyone???

Week 1 - Exercise 2

7 1/2 Habits
It was interesting to see characteristics of lifelong learning enumerated like that. I have always viewed myself as a learner because, frankly, I love learning. In almost every situation I ask questions, read, research, experiment, explore. It can drive my kids nuts!
I definitely accept responsibility for my own learning - at least since I've been adult, probably since I started working. It was interesting to do my MA program 20 years after college and see how much harder I worked and how many times I went over certain reading sections to be sure I understood. I think I would have had awesome grades in school if I'd taken that approach earlier in my life.
The hardest of the habits for me will be the setting and attainment of a single specific goal. I'm good at making goals and getting started down the path to attainment. BUT, I often start to make modifications well before I reach the original objective - you know - improvements... This can get me off track of what I really wanted to get done. I hope that this plan helps me move in a consistent direction toward a goal, achieve it, THEN start something else.

Week 1 - Exercise 1

I set up a Google Reader account and this blog. The process was fairly easy - thanks for the good directions.
