Thing #3 Blog & Avatar

It was easy setting up my new blog because I had one that I used with my students last year. My main problem is with my avatar. I got into it easily and customized it to my liking. The trouble is with having it show up on my blog. Maybe it's my computer and isn't letting the image show up or maybe I did something wrong. I won't know for sure until I am able to get to another computer to check it out.

Thing #2: 71/2 Habits of Learning

The easiest habit for me is taking responsibility for my own learning. I've been doing that since I was a child. My parents wouldn't let me blame the teachers or anyone else if I wasn't successful in learning what was taught. The hardest habit for me is setting goals. I wasn't taught to set goals when I was younger, but am getting better about it since I have to set one each year. However, I don't go back to the goals throughout the year to check my progress. I always to do it at the end, when it's too late to make changes.
