7 1/2 Habits

I really like the idea of learning as a continuum. We've all heard the old saw that we're never too old to learn---but some of us act as if we are. But a continuum, now that is different---it implies a journey, a "getting somewhere" kind of idea.
I like that.
I wish our students would "buy" into the idea --that and the fact that "no one has as much invested in your learning as you do." Now wouldn't that shake up the educational environment if the learners believed that?

When I think about what I want to learn from all of this, I am amazed at the list:
you.tube, publishing my photos, blogging (who knew?), internet assignments for my students, downloading podcasts of the things I listen to regularly on the radio or elsewhere, using photo enchancing technology. . . and the list continues.
If I want to get all of that done, I had better get busy!

You're right! It would seriously shake things up if our learners thought that way.
