#2 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 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 we’ve 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:

**Please do not provide feedback using the "We Value Your Opinion" link at the end of the tutorial. It will not go to us, but to the PLCMC Library administrators!

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.

**You are not required to complete the Learning Contract, but it is highly recommended to keep yourself on the Lifelong Learning track!

Exercise Hint: To view the attachments (Learning Contract and 7 1/2 Habits) at the top of the tutorial, hold down the control key on your keyboard when you click on a link! This will deactivate the pop-up blocker (*bloop* noise)

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 week) 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.

Next Week: Creating your blog so you can begin tracking your journey!

SMOTR-I think the first post is to be on your blog page, and I like your blog. Of course, this means the first post for most of the group can't be done right away--and that is fine! There is no hurry to do any of the "things".
