Comments on the "7 & 1/2 Habits to Life Long Learning"

I have always been a successful independent learner who likes to share my experience/skills with others, so 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 ("beginning with the end in mind", "accepting responsibility for my own learning" , "viewing problems as challenges", " being confident in myself as a competent effective learner" and " teaching/mentoring others") are definitely my strongest habits.

I don't consider myself a techno-geek, but I have developed a strong interest in technology, both in my work and personal life, and feel I do use it to my advantage (habit 6) in most cases. I am currently without a stable technology environment in my home and it really frustrates me...especially because I would like to enhance this learning opportunity by spending time away from work exploring even more!

As an independent learner I tend to create my own learning toolbox (habit 5) - but most of my tools tend to be from sources and resources removed from my worklife. So one thing that I hope to take away from this experience is an opportunity to connect with others in the LCLS community!

Ok, so what about habit 7 1/2? It may come as a surprise to some people, but I do like to play! Perhaps I will share more about that in a later post...
