Listen to this podcast created by Helene Bowers at ODEO, and then return to this blog.

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, 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.

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 week) 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.

Next Up: Creating your blog so you can begin tracking your journey.
