Thing #1--Habits of Lifelong Learners

The most challenging habit for me, sadly, will probably be #7 1/2--which is to play. For me, being a teacher is neither an 8 to 4, nor an August to June job. I also have a daughter still in high school and a son in college, so "extra" time is hard to find.

The easiest habit is to accept responsibility for my learning--#2. I truly love learning new things and improving my knowledge and skills--both for the benefit of my students and just for fun.

The most important habits will be #3 (viewing problems as challenges & an opportunity for success), particularly in combination with #6 (use technology to my advantage). These two things don't always go together well.

  1. You will be surprised at how your daughter and son will "love" all the new technologies that you are learning that they probably already use on a daily basis. You will find that is quite addictive, even when you are already so busy. The plus in all of this is that you are going to learn some new techniques that will make many of your daily tasks easier.
