Week 2, Thing 4
I guess I completed the "register your blog" when I told the committee my blog name and received confirmation and congratulations.
In the meantime, I discovered that there was a scanner for public use in the lower level at the King Library. I took a photo I had taken of the Joyce Ellington Library while it was being demolished and scanned it for practice and e-mailed it to myself. More on that later, because I used that photo in my flickr account.

Week 1, Thing 2
I think in this lesson we were supposed to talk about the easiest and hardest (for us) of the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners.
I might pick Habit 1 as the easiest for me since I frequently set goals for myself. As yet, however, I don't know the end of these lessons, but my goal now would be to complete them and learn new technology in the process.
Which brings me to the hardest for me--Habit 6 "Use technology to your advantage." I find that while customers in the library look to me for answers to their questions on the computers, I really know just a small part of what is available on a computer and on the Internet. There is so much to know and it increases every day. I always seem several years behind the rest of the world in learning new technology. But when I do learn it, I try to use it to my advantage.
I have found that other people are very willing to share their knowledge with me. I am finding, also, that nurturing other people helps me learn.

Week 1, Thing 1
I will go back to the beginning since I haven't written anything about Week 1 or Week 2.
I have never had a blog, although I knew what they were. I had also never added anything to anyone else's blog. I bought a set of headphones and listened to the introduction. Thanks, Mary, for your explanation. I am still not sure exactly how this will fit into our jobs at the library, but I'm sure it will be clear by the time it is completed.
I'm looking forward to earning a flash drive for completing this set of lessons, although I'm looking forward to learning the lessons, too! I think flash drives are the best thing since sliced bread! I think of mine as my office in my pocket, since I work at two branches and could never carry with me everything I might need.

Joyce Ellington Library
Here is Joyce Ellington Library as it is being demolished. You can see the mural in the picture book area from the sidewalk!
