After watching the tutorial, the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners, I realized I have room for improvement in regards to being a better learner. The most obvious habit that I need to improve is my ability to use technology to my advantage. I sometimes think that keyboards know when I am using them, and they send a message to the computer screen saying, "old man alert, old man alert! He doesn't know what he is doing". The most simple of tasks can melt at my fingertips.
The habit that I find the easiest and most enjoyable is habit #7, teaching and mentoring others. The moment when you are teaching someone and the"light" goes off in their head is priceless. I do believe that one of the missions that every human being has is giving to others, whether it be money, time, or knowledge.
My hope is that I can master all of the habits in this tutorial. If not 7 1/2, maybe 6 1/2. Because I know that those sneaky keyboards are out to get me.

Darryl,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post about the 7 1/2 habits to learning. The more posts that I read, the more I am starting to appreciate humbleness, humor, and optimism for the new technology we will be learning. I can sympathize with you, as you share your limited experience with computers and such. I have always been a quick learner and dedicated student, but I have never been the most electronically savy individual. Mostly, because it just hasn't been a passion of mine. Either way, like you, I can appreciate the learning curve that this class is presenting. Thanks for the post and best luck with the class!
Thank you for the comments. Best of luck to you as well.
ReplyDeleteYou must have the same keyboard that I have. I swear the more I think I am getting up-to-date with technology the farther behind I am actually getting, because they just keeping coming out with more and more.For example blogs, twitter what the heck are these things? What happen to pin pals and clubs(organizations)? Also I completely agree with every person has a mission to help others. It takes a special person to be a teacher but everybody can teach us something. Keep up the great blogging.
