Week 3 Thing 5


Merida
Originally uploaded by carolyn's.

I recently learned of this wonderful library from friends who are relocating to Merida, Mexico. Perhaps my husband and I will join them. Ole!

"This place The Merida English Library is lovely. They are the heart of the expat community that lives in Merida and sponsor many events and get togethers for the fastly growing English speaking population. We took their Wednesday Garden Tour that was one of the more thoughtful activities we took part in. I went back on one of my last days to take photos of their wonderful garden, but unfortunately they were closed that afternoon."

Week 2 Thing 3 & 4

Creating the blog was much easier than I thought. I really enjoyed creating the avatar. I did have to create the avatar from home as my district has it blocked. It took a long time . . . too many options!
I am now registered and ready to go!

Week 1 Thing 2 Lifelong Learning Habits

From the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, I find using technology to my advantage the hardest to incorporate into my learning style. I enjoy and I am not shy of today's technology but I often rely on more traditional (old-fashion) methods. It is my goal that School Library Learning 2.0 will alter this habit.

The easiest habit for me is to have confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. I do not buy into the axiom that you "can't teach an old dog new tricks". My philosophy leans more to keep teaching the dog and she won't grow old!
