Week 1, Things #1 and #2

I am hoping that Web 2.0 will help me get my skills up to the next level in the ever-changing technology world. Technology presents challenges that include financial, time, and learning curves that never cease. Some things can be skipped, because change will simply wipe them out; others must be addressed in order to be able to "speak" to students and colleagues. Some of it becomes part of daily life.

I am encouraged about the "23 Steps" process--surely that is manageable.

Lifelong learning is a mandate for us all, no matter what our ages. I find that setting goals is my most difficult step, just as task definition is for research. Working backwards from product to planning helps me more than anything.

Thanks to Jackie and Connie for offering this opportunity.
