Thing 2 - Discover a few points about life long learning

Lifelong learning is one of the core values of the Virginia Beach Public Library system. So, it makes sense that before we embark on this new online learning and discovery journey, we should take a few minutes to review a few habits that can assist us in creating lifelong learners.

These habits, which the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County calls The 7½ Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, will provide you with a refresher on what it means to be a lifelong learner.

Discovery exercise:

1. Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer.




2. Open up the 7½ Habits online tutorial and view the online tutorial. Run time is 14:18.




3. As you watch and listen, write down which habit among the 7½ that is easiest for you and which is hardest. Write these ideas down now and save them. In week three, you will set up a personal blog. You will use your personal blog to post your thoughts about lifelong learning. After you register your blog in Thing 8, your thoughts on here will be your first blog post.

Have fun! If you haven't jumped on board yet, it's never too late to become a lifelong learner.
