Thing #2: Lifelong Learning and Learning 2.0

PLCMC created a nifty little tutorial that discusses the 7 & 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners. The Habits are:

1. Begin with the end in mind
2. Accept responsibility for your own learning
3. View problems as challenges
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner
5. Create your own learning toolbox
6. Use technology to your advantage
7. Teach/mentor others
1/2. Play

For me, I think I have the easiest time with Habit #3. Problems arise during any learning experience and I think I handle them well. I have the most difficulty with Habit #4. I think I get down on myself and distrust my abilities often. I would also like to work more on Habit #6 and really take advantage of technology.
