7 & 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

My goal for 23Things??
Obtain a better understanding of Web 2.0 technologies. Until this point I have chosen the tools that I find most interesting to explore, e.g. Facebook. I want to delve further into the pool.

Easiest Habit of Lifelong Learning...
Wanting to learn and having a positive outlook (although there are f course days when I ain't so positive...).

Hardest Habit of Lifelong Learning...
Find the time to include learning in my life... however after looking at the LifeLong Learning video I realise that lifelong learning isn't necessarily " completing a course". I know that activities such as Yoga is "lifelong learning". Never thought of it like that...

My learning toolkit includes...
  • Mentors - I find other people who I can look up to and work closely with, very helpful;
  • The 23Things@ACU website of course!;
  • My PC/laptop;
  • The web.

Learning Contract
Recently did one of these for my Grad. Cert. Higher Education subject. Found it very interesting but also very challenging. It is difficult to outline your one goals and outcomes.

First Post

I have played around with Blogs before but nothing really too serious. I had wanted to create a blog as part of my position as Theology LL...created a newsletter instead.
Ok, so I am now getting into 23Things at last. I have really enjoyed the evolution of Web 2.0. Love Facebook, SecondLife, RSS feeds etc. I am looking forward to exploring areas I have not looked at previously...particularly Flickr.
