Which habit of lifelong learners is easiest and which is hardest for you?

Hardest: For me this would be seeing problems as challenges. Initially I see a problem as a challenge but then as I begin something and discover it’s more of a challenge than I expected, it can be discouraging.

Easiest:

Using technology to my advantage. I think I tend to seek out technology if I think something should be out there to make it easier.

Your goals for the 23 Things ...

To expand my knowledge of technology and web 2.0 tools, for both my own personal learning and to see how these tools can be applied in libraries. I aim to challenge myself by learning new tools, and by revising tools that I have used in the past.

What you need in your learning toolkit to achieve these goals ...

Time, technology, perseverance and commitment
