IM2

I finally took time to IM with someone from the class. I like to use IM's at home because it is a way to talk to one of my family or friends when I am on the computer and get an answer right away instead of waiting for the email. I sometimes use firefox instead of AOL just because I don't want anyone to know that I am on the computer if I am in a hurry and don't want to take time to chat. That doesn't happen much though. I am not so sure about in my professional life. I guess if it was a big place it could be nice to ask a question without going to the other side of the building. I doubt I would use IM to ask a reference question. I am sure some people would but I think we are to small for that to be an issue. Since we are a public library I think most of our patrons would use an IM to ask for more time on the computers not to ask for information.

answering questions

It is obvious that I haven't been in school for awhile. I can't seem to remember to answer the questions in the homework. Play is easy I do that most of the time!!! Viewing problems a challenges is not easy I usually want to fix it but don't always see it as a challenge just something to fix. Having confidence in myself is probably the hardest because even though I usually figure it out I will doubt myself the whole way.

IM's

I signed up for meebo. It looks like it could be interesting. I hope to have time to play with it more. I have to take time to IM with the class people yet. That should be interesting.

Lifelong learning

I was surprised that what I have considered life experiences, is considered lifelong learning. I am looking forward to learning things that my kids do without thinking. They are trying to have patience with me as I get caught up with their world.

learning new things

I think I am making this harder than what it should be.
