"Thing 1 says he's Thing 1 for a reason and some people should just get used to it. It's a Thing thing, you wouldn't understand."

Okay, so I viewed the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners. After contemplating the different habits, I think that the hardest one for me is the Habit #4: Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner. This one seems harder for me than the rest because I've never been all that confident in myself and it's hard for me to think of myself as competent because I often compare myself to others. I want to be the best at what I do but it gets me down when I notice people in my class doing better than me. Though this becomes some what of a problem, it also helps me. It makes me more competitive and struggle to be the best that I can be.

The easiest one for me, would be Habit#7: Teach/mentor others. I have a teaching and motherly nature. I like to nurture others and help them. I often correct people without thinking (sorry to those who hate Grammar Nazi's) and always want the best for others, which is probably why I decided on becoming a teacher.

As for my experience with Web 2.0 tools, I think it's fairly easy. I have used blogger before and technology usually comes fairly easy to me so I'm not worried about any of it.

Overall, I agree that all of these habits of Lifelong Learners are good to have and help people become better learners and in effect, help them become better teachers. You have to learn before you can teach. I hope everyone else had an easy time with blogger as well. :)
