Tech Tapas 4th course

I've had a bloglines subscription for a while, but found it difficult as of late to make time to go and read the feeds. Here is the link to my blog roll (http://www.bloglines.com/public/ebeckett).

I have recently (March 2009) moved to Goole reader and I am finding it easier to read the feeds. I have my igoogle page set as my browser homepage, and have added the reader to this page. Now, whenever I open my browser, I can take a few minutes and read some of the feeds. It's also easier to add new feeds, so the list reflected in the blog roll has expanded by about a dozen feeds.

Life Long learning

I like the idea of a learning contract with myself, but I'm not sure if I will take the time to make a contract for EVERY learning situation. The 7 1/2 habits are a good way to remind yourself to be proactive in your learning as well as in your life. My favorite habit was the last, because playing is such a cool way to learn. The habits that have been most useful to me have been 3 (view problems as challenges), 5 (create your own learning toolbox), and 6 (use technology to your advantage).
