1. Lifelong Learning and Learning 2.0
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. 7-1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners — This screencast from Lori Reed, Training Specialist at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, will help get you into the mindset of a lifelong learner. (You do not need to create a learning contract.)
Resources:
- 7-1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners (Public Library of Charlotte and Meckenburg County)
- Smith, M. K. (1996, 2001) ‘Lifelong learning’, the encyclopedia of informal education
Exercise:
- Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer
- Open the 7-1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners and view the online tutorial
- As you watch and listen, write down which habit among the 7 and 1/2 is the easiest for you and which is the hardest. You will use your personal blog (which you will set up in Thing #3) to post your thoughts about lifelong learning.
