Thing 2

After watching the Habits of a Lifelong Learner find myself mostly thinking about how we as educators (and parents) can help students develop these habits. I think one of the most powerful habits is taking responsibility for your own learning. Of course, this is also why reading is so important. Think about it--there is a book out there for almost anything you want to learn about or how to do.

Or you can find a website with a plethora of information....
But you have to have that desire and willingness to want the information or skill in the first place. Either because it is something you want to do or you know it is necessary...sort of like participating in this workshop. We are aware that web 2.0 skills are necessary and are taking the responsibility to attain them.

My greatest weakness, and I am not sure how this falls into the habits, is a lack of focus on one area. I tend to hop from one interest or project to another. I always come back but I tend to have be a jack of many trades, master of none.
