Week 5, Thing 11 - LibraryThing

Fun and easy! Best of all, I liked clicking on Suggestions to get the link LibrarySuggester.Book. which determines books you may enjoy based on your personal catalog. This is something I will continue to use and I will definitely be "checking out" some of the suggested books!

Week One, Thing 2: Lifelong Learning

I really enjoyed the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial!

For me, the easiest is Habit 2: Accept responsibility for your own learning. I believe if you have the desire to learn something, it is possible...but you must depend on yourself to make it happen.

The most difficult habit for me is: Habit 6: Use technology to your advantage. (That's why this activity is a huge challenge!) I must admit that according to the study, "A Typology of Information and Communication Technology Users" which was recently published by The Pew Internet and American Life project, I was considered - Connected but Hassled! But, I've decided...I'm really going to try! In case you'd like to take the quiz and find out your type:

Final thoughts: I do believe that attiude is everything so I'm gonna hang in there!!
