Week 1, Thing 2: Pointers from Lifelong Learners.

Lifelong learning was something I had not thought about. But, after thinking about it, I have enjoyed everything I have "learned" and when "teaching" or passing it on, helps to keep what you learn clear and always available when needed.

Week 1, Thing 1: About This Program

Very informative, look forward to the learning

7.5 Habits

Easiest - Teaching and Mentoring
I currently teach computers and technology to upto 3 teens a year in an informal leaning program where they have "hands on" building and troubleshooting computers. After the teaching I make myself available to help them with the bumps in the road as they begin increase their knowledge of computers and technology. I mentor several young adults, mostly newly married or troubled kids that have had difficulty growing up.

Hardest - Goals
I find I have a great deal of difficulty setting goals, I can achieve them once they are set by myself or others, but deciding what to focus in on and doing just one thing is difficult.

First Post

Hi Y'all

I need your input. I am planning a LATI Project with the intent to help Staff and Patrons to better manage and maintain their data (Word, Pictures and other documents).

Please post how you store your files - one BIG GIANT folder, or separate folders with things detailed. Do you maintain backups or just hope that nothing breaks.

Please post how/what you do, I will incorporate your ideas into "Best Practice Plan" and make it available after my LATI project is completed.
