Thing #2 The 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning

Among libraries, lifelong learning is one of those core values we shelve our books by. So it makes sense that before we embark on this online learning and discovery journey that we take a few minutes to review a few habits of lifelong learners.

These habits, which we’ve called the Seven 1/2 habits of lifelong learners, will provide you with a refresher on what it means to be a lifelong learner.

Discovery Exercise:

1. Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer.
2. Check out this tutorial to learn the 7 1/2 habits: http://www.plcmc.org/public/learning/player.html.
3. As you watch and listen, write down which habit among the 7 & 1/2 that is easiest for you and which is hardest. You will use your personal blog (which you will set up in the next lesson) to post your thoughts about lifelong learning.

Have fun! If you haven't jumped on board yet, it's never too late to become a lifelong learner.
