7 1/2 Habits of Life Long Learners

I enjoyed learning about the 7 1/2 habits of life-long learners. The most difficult of the habits is probably the one on using technology....sometimes technology baffles me, though if it is explained in easy steps, such as setting up a blog, it is simple and doable.

People learn in different ways--this I've really noticed as I've taught the surf'n for seniors classes. Some will jump in enthusiastically and embrace every new thing; others are so hesitant and will not try something unless we go over and over it with them.

I always hope I am like Alex, one woman in the last class, who was the class cheerleader, always encouraging, enthusiastic, and willing to try something new, and loving learning new things, too.

  2. You're certainly right about different learning styles. Some people need to see the big picture in order to have a framework for learning something new, while others are intimidated by seeing all they don't understand and need to focus on building their skills step by step.
