Thing #2 Life Long Learners

Again, as a teacher, I have not kept up with technology as I should have this past school year. So when we had an opportunity to learn some new skills, I independently, I was ready to jump on board.

As we want our students to be life long learners, we need to make sure we are updated on knowledge, skills and are able to keep out students engaged. Kids are more intelligent these days and sometimes can also teach us!

When watching the 7 habits of highly effective people, I noticed that I had alot in common with each point. The easiest habits for me are 7 and 7 1/2 which are teacher/mentor and playing. Since I am a teacher it is easy for me to pass on my knowledge and have students look up to me as a mentor. Like any student, I enjoy playing on pieces of technology to learn about them. So I agree that play is a good way to learn and when you are enjoying what you learn, its easier to learn.
