Week 2: Things 2 & 3

I'm so very excited about this program and am looking forward to learning many new Web 2.0 tools which I can use in my school. I just received the Web 2.0 link today, so I have some catching up to do!
It was interesting to reflect on what my strengths and weaknesses are as a lifelong learner. Without a doubt, what I find the hardest is to view problems as challenges. I expect everything to run with 100% efficiency; when they don't, I begin to panic a bit and become quite disappointed in myself. Most definitely, I need to look at snafus and snags as opportunities to improve upon myself.
I think my strength is to teach and mentor others because it is what I love to do. As I'm exploring and discovering new technology tools, I find myself thinking "Hey, the Science Dept will love this!" or "This is a perfect resource for Kyle's 10th grade research paper." To me, that's what being a library media specialist is all about.
