Week One Thing 1 & 2: About this program and pointers

Week 1 Thing 1
This program sounds like it will be perfect for me as I feel like a technology dinosaur. This program will force me to make time to catch up on and learn how to do some basic things using new technologies that I am totally not familiar with. I like the format so far.

Week 1 Thing 2 For me the easiest habit would probably be helping to teach and mentor others as that seems to be a natural (and my children would say annoying) tendency that I have always had. Once I feel that I have learned something and I am enthusiastic about it, I just want to find ways and opportunities to share with others. Then I have to try not to be a helicopter type of teacher or mentor.
The most difficult habit is learning about and using technology to my advantage. I get excited about the learning, but don't make the time to keep up with new technology or sometimes to practice what I have learned until I have mastered it. This will be a habit I definitely have to work on, so this online experience will certainly help build that habit.
