Thing 4: Learning 2.0

I was surfing the web and came across 2 bloggers who were responding to a blog posted by John Blyberg: Library 2.0 Debased.
http://www.blyberg.net/2008/01/17/library-20-debased/
I found his blog to be very interesting and the responses that the other two bloggers had as well.
One had concerns with some of his issues
(http://liblogs.albany.edu/library20/)
while the other
(http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/2008/01/24/the-essence-of-library-20/)
seemed to advocate what he was saying. I thought this was very a timely issue since we're learning 2.0. Read their blogs. They are interesting but WARNING: they are also long winded!

All made valid points. Who do I agree with? Well, that's only for me to know! LOL!!

Thing 2:Pointers from Lifelong Learners

I found the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners to be interesting.
I'm also surprised that I do these habits fairly easily. The problem I have is something that wasn't mentioned: how to stay motivated for the long haul, especially when other things happen to cause you to slow down and eventually stop without realizing it (like dieting!!!). I've heard and tried doing mini or short term goals when you're learning something that will take a long time to achieve. It's worked for me on occasion but not all the time! So I guess, whatever I'm learning has to be something that I'm really interested in or else I may (or may not!) lose interest in it!
