Thing #3: Set up a blog... and make an avatar

That wasn't so hard. Then again... I've never been averse to technology. It helps that I already had an avatar created since I was already a Yahoo! member. I think that probably made it easy. I've seen other blogs. I like to see how other people are responding to this training. So far it's pretty fun. I just gotta do the rest before the deadline and not procrastinate.

Thing #2: Pointers for Lifelong Learners

The most difficult thing for me to do as a lifelong learner is to view problems as challenges. I don't view problems as challenges, I view them as annoying. Even if I do in the end learn something from an obstacle, I would just rather not have obstacles. I would still learn anyway. The easiest thing for me to do as a lifelong learner is play. I like playing to learn. I think it's the most fun and effective way. I think this is the case for lots of learners. If I can trick my students into thinking they're playing a game while I have them learn, I think they usually learn more of it and they learn it better.
