Thing 2: Lifelong learning

Listen to this podcast [1:31]-->powered by ODEO

Lifelong learning may sound like a buzzword, but it's one that describes the vital role that libraries play all around the world. This program is a great example of lifelong learning, so before starting our journey we thought it would be a good idea to highlight a few habits that can help create lifelong learners.

Discovery Exercise

  1. You will need to be able to hear the audio for the online tutorial, so make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer.

  2. Click here to view an online tutorial called Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, courtesy of the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg.

  3. While you watch and listen to the tutorial, write down which habit is the easiest for you and which is the most difficult. You will use your personal blog (which you'll set up next) to post your thoughts about lifelong learning.

Have fun! If you haven't jumped on board yet, it's never too late to become a lifelong learner.
