Quest 2 Assignment

My seatwork for Quest 2:

Biggest challenge is: Beginning with the end in mind.

Completing this quest by November whateverth seems a bit like a school assignment. Becoming more familiar with new technologies seems a bit vague, unfocused, and, quite frankly, very easy to achieve. (In my first blog posting I figured out how to put in a hypertext link, so I've already become more familiar with new technology...) I acknowledge that goals are good to have, but come evaluation time I always feel as though I am back in the middle of a library school assignment. I had one professor for multiple classes who she was all about goals, objectives, enabling objectives objectives, and some subparts of that I thankfully no longer remember! I learned a lot from her, but feel as though I did enough end-in-mind thinking and how to get there for three very long lifetimes.


Easiest challenge is: Accepting responsibility for my own learning.

Let's be real. Whose fault is it if I don't learn because I won't ask questions (already done that one...), don't try, don't collaborate, don't share what I have learned, pretend I don't have time (that excuse just means I need some help w/ time management), etc.

We've been given encouragement to learn and play. Why not take advantage of it? It's great to be able to explore--all the while letting my mind work in tandem thinking of how this can help CCPL and its mission.


Another challenge: Spelling and typing

I hate spell-checkers--just one of my many irrational quirks--but I am also a bad keyboarder. Also hate proofreading. So I have the challenge of presenting literate-seeming posts without spell-checking or much proofreading. I think this might be my biggest challenge! The solution is easy enough to fix, but that would require another set of goals and objectives...
