Learning Contract

Last Friday I completed the tutorial and set up my learning contract. I set a somewhat general goal of becoming more comfortable with emerging technologies. Ok, I admit it, I'm one of those people who entered the 21st century pretty reluctantly and is still dragging my feet. I'd much rather sit and talk with someone face to face than connect electronically. I know, that's just not always feasible in today's fast paced world. I'm trying to get over it and catch up with the speeding freight train before it runs me over.

I'm hoping that I will become more comfortable as I go through this learning process, adding to what I recently learned in LATI. Maybe I'll also be a little more enthusiastic about how these gadgets and gizmos can compliment my work.

Off to the races...

Getting my mojo working

Well, it's week 4 and I'm just starting the week 2 assignments. Sigh. At least I feel like I'm beginning to have a better sense of what this is all about. This will be another opportunity to expand my understanding of emerging technologies and become more comfortable with some of them. It's hard to see how I will use this with Outreach patrons, but hopefully that will become clearer. There may be more applications in my collaboration with other staff. If nothing else, I'll be able to keep up with my daughters a little more.

I'll do my best not to get the boggin' blues...
