Today, Jie and I worked on modifying Horizon notices requested by branch staff. After much testing and printing we determined that there is little lead way for customizing notices to suit our needs. As suspected, a variety of fields and notice language share one common notice. Therefore, if you change one aspect for a notice it will effect other notices as well.

Learning 2.0-
This is a wonderful learning opportunity for all LCPL staff or anyone who comes in contact with this link. This program was a little confusing at the beginning, but the pieces are coming together with each Learning Thing posted.

7-1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners
What a wonderful concept! All 7-1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners each have their own importance, but put together as one concept makes the idea a very powerful learning tool

I think for me the hardest is Habit 2: Accepting responsibility for your own learning. As with most things we put ourselves last when it sometimes comes to taking care of our own mental and physical health. This is a habit that I usually fall short on. Habit 7 and 7-1/2 will be the easiest for me because I enjoy helping other and we usually end up having fun along the way.

Created my blog and added a picture. I've performed at least 5 of the 7-1/2 Learning Habits in this fun and exciting exercise.

I'm still confused about the whole blog thing. However, I am looking forward to creating my own and unfolding the whole mystery and hype behind a blog.
