3. Before we continue on this online learning journey 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.

Habit 1 – Begin with the end in mind

Habit 2 – Accept responsibility for your own learning

Habit 3 – View problems as challenges

Habit 4 – Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner

Habit 5 – Create your own learning toolbox

Habit 6 – Use technology to your advantage

Habit 7 – Teach and mentor others

Habit 7 ½ – PLAY! Have fun! It's never too late to become a lifelong learner.

Discovery Exercise:
Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer.
Open up the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial and view the online tutorial.
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.
