Thing 3 - Explore what it means to be a Lifelong Learner

If you work as an educator, you know that lifelong learning is one of those core values we must live by. There are two parts to Thing 3. First - Take a couple of minutes to watch this video on the future of learning:



Next, now that you have learned a little more about what the future of learning looks like, it makes sense that 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 of a life long learner have been excellently presented by Shelley Paul, a teacher from the Atlanta area. Now, click through the VoiceThread presentation she created.


Blogging Task:

1. Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer.
2. Open up and watch the 7 & 1/2 Habits presentation.
3. As you watch and listen, write down which habit among of the 7 & 1/2 that is easiest for you and which is hardest.
   
4. Create a new post on your blog (Titled Thing 3) about why your hardest and easiest habits are what they are for you, and what things you can do to get better at the hardest one. Why is the easiest one so easy for you?
5. Visit another participant's blog (available from the main 23 Things participant list) - and post a comment on their blog, welcoming them, or introducing yourself as a fellow life long learner.
   

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