Thing#1

I've created a blog. This is something that I have been wanting to do for awhile. even though this blog is for a class I am still excited that i know how to set up a blog. I will be setting up a personal blog for my family in the next few days to share with family and friends that live out of town. The only thing that "scares" me about blogging is that eveyone can see what I post. I have been reluctant to share my ideas and thoughts so freely with the world. So I am stepping out of the box and sharing with everyone about my learning experience through this class. I heard about this class last summer while some friends were taking it. I thought I need to catch up in the technology world so I decided to sign up. one of the challenges that I will face will be viewing problems as challenges. I tend to view a problem as a crisis. I know I will not be able to complete most of the "things" easily or quickly so I must be patient and do some research and learn by trial and error. Being a busy mom, I will not have hours to spend playing around so I must stay focused and get my assignments completed and then play. I am a person who makes lists and likes to cross things off the list. So setting goals and accomplishing them will be easy for me. I like that the class is very organized and I know what is expected in each week. As I go through the next few weeks I need to remain confident that I can achieve the goals I have set. I am in control of my learning and I am able to revise and edit goals as needed.
