Thing #1

I think the easiest thing about life long learning is being able to use daily experiences to learn from. the most difficult way of continuing life long learning for me is through formal school/classroom learning activities. I prefer hands-on activities to learn. I am a kinistetic learner and I prefer to learn through action rather than through passive means.

I want to learn more about Web 2.0 so I can try to integrate more acitvities in my class. Since the county that I teach in has very strict rules on web access and does not allow blogging or web communication, I am not certain that I will be able to allow my students much access to Web 2.0 type programs. i know they will not be able to communicate back out to the web.

I found it somewhat difficult to set up a blog, as I do not have text messging enabled on my phone and many of the blog spots want to send messages to my cell phone. I refuse to get text messaging, as I think it is the bane of society. Text messaging in my view has done more to ruin the written English language in 10 years than mankind has been able to do over the past several hundered years.
