Week 1 - Thing 2 7 1/2 Habits

Ok so as promiese I finally went back and took a look at the 7 1/2 habits of life long learning. Very interesting tutorial I think, lots of very good points. Looking at different habits I am surpried at how many of these I pride myself in trying to do every day. I am always looking for opportunities to improve my knowledge and increase my skills in various areas. Ways that I practice these habits, well I would have to start with Habit 1 - Begin with the end in mind. Going back to school to finish up my Bachelors degree so that I can pursue a goal for a Masters in Library Science I believe is a good example of that. Habit 2 - accept responsibility for your own learning. Again I believe striving to take a minimum of 3 classes a year is a good start. Habit 3 - view problems as challenges. I do that every day at work, this is actually one of my favorite things about my job. Habit 4- have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner. Ok this is probably where I need the most help, I am not very confident in myself, but I am working on it. Habit 5- Create your own learning toolbox. Honey I have a more then one toolbox, and they keep getting bigger and bigger. Habit 6 - Use technology to your advantage. I love technology, that is why my major in school is Business Technology Administration. Habit 7 - Teach & Mentor others. I am a true believer that is what BCPL is about, helping other's grow in there quest for knowledge as well, and that it only makes the teacher stronger. Habit 7 1/2 - Play! Well any of you who know me know that this is not a problem for me either lol. So off to a good start I believe. So on we go! WOOT!
