Lifelong Learning

  • Begin with the end in mind
  • Accept responsibility for your own learning
  • View problems as challenges
  • Have confidence in self as competent, effective learner
  • Create your own learning toolbox
  • Use technology to your advantage
  • Teach/mentor others
  • Play

If these are the seven and one-half steps to being a lifelong learner, then I would have to say that having confidence in myself as a competent learner is the tenet that is easiest for me because I think I'm good at all the steps! Therefore, the hardest thing for me is to find one of the tenets that I think is the hardest for me--that's logical, isn't it? Now I know this declaration doesn't sound too modest, and I'm not really trying to toot my horn, but I do like to learn and hey! I have tons of experience at it--lots of times I get the chance to learn the same things over and over again!
