#2 Lifelong Learning

Among libraries, lifelong learning is one of the core values we practice. Before we embark on this new online learning and discovery journey that we should take a few minutes to review a few habits that can assist in creating lifelong learners.

These habits, which PLCMC* called the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful 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. Open up the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial* and view the online tutorial.
   
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 next) 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.

*This tutorial was created by PLCMC, the library system that pioneered the Learning 2.0 program. If you are unable to hear the tutorial's narration or you lack headphones, you can opt to read the text in the tutorial's left sidebar.

Next Up: Creating your blog so you can begin tracking your journey. Several staff have already taken a jump start on this activity, so if you're up to it why not join the early bird crowd.
