Thing #1 As explored by me....

Life long learning is indeed a learned habit. According to the video assigned for this portion of the project there are seven and a half steps to becoming a life long learner.

1. Have a goal.
2. Accept responsibility for your own learning.
3. View problems as challenges.
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.
5. Create your own learning toolbox.
6. Use technology to your advantage.
7. Teach/mentor others.

7.5. Play!

Most of these steps to becoming a life long learner come naturally to me. I have to have a goal in anything I do in order for it actually to have a chance at getting anything done. I also love to teach/mentor others. I have been tutoring math students in all grades now for just over a year and love it!

There are others that are more difficult to master. These include viewing problems as challenges. I am working on this one, but it is indeed still a work in progress. Also, I don't always have confidence in myself as I should, but I am also striving to have more confidence in myself.

Well, here is to the start of a new adventure that will hopefully help me fix the issues I have difficulty with in the seven and a half steps!

P.S. I have mastered the play! :)
