Lifelong Learning Habits

It makes sense that before we embark on this online learning and discovery journey that we review a few useful habits. Consider this a “refresher” if you have taken other CSLA Discovery Learning courses such as School Library Learning 2.0 or Classroom Learning 2.0 or skip this section. These habits, called the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, describe what it means to be a lifelong learner.

Discovery Exercise:
  1. Open up the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial and view it. The tutorial was developed by training specialists at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. [Note: You will be able to review the video, but not print out the library's learning contract.]
  2. As you watch and listen, write down which habit among the 7 & 1/2 that is easiest for you and which is hardest. Use a personal journal or a blog to post your thoughts about lifelong learning.
  3. Think about 1-3 things you want to learn from this tutorial and write them in you log or blog. Have fun!
