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, 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.
This program has been borrowed with permission from Helene Blowers at Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County (Thank You Very Much Helene!). At the end of the tutorial, Lori Reed at Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County invites her staff to send Questions and Comments to the We Value Your Opinion Link. This goes to her at PLCMC. Please do not use this link. Instead, send an email to me.
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.
Have fun! If you haven’t jumped on board yet, it’s never too late to become a lifelong learner.
PS: The tutorial is actually 14 minutes instead of 5 minutes.
PSS: If you can’t get to the contract she tells you about on the podcast, check your popup blocker and temporarily allow popups.

So cool to find out I am a lifelong learner already — now I can see how these habits can contribute to learning. Habit number 7-1/2 is very important!!!

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I too am a lifelong learner. I find that life gets quite slow and tedious when I am not learning somthing!

This tutorial offered a lot of information concerning lifelong learning. I took notes and now I am going to set goals and put it in writing.
