Thing 1: Reflections on Lifelong Learning

Which habit(s) may be most challenging for you to employ as part of your Learning 2.0 experience?

     I found the most challenging habit to me would be to begin with the end in mind. I usually don't do that, I just follow each step and see how things turn out.  When completing lesson plans, I do begin with the end in mind, but in life situations, I just take things as they come, day by day, and step by step.  I always know what the goal is in the end, but it not a huge focus to me when I am following the steps. My husband begins with the end in mind and works backwards. My mind just does not work that way.

Which habit(s) will be easiest, or are most resonant for you as a lifelong learner?

     I think that the easiest habit for my will be accepting responsiblity for my own learning. I have learned in life that you can really only depend on yourself.  I have been in situations where I really thought that I could depend on someone to do something or be there for me, and they did not or were not there.  I know that I am responsible for my own learning; that just like any life situation, you are ultimately the only one that can do it for yourself. 

*  Which habit do you think will be most important for you as you work through this course, and why?
     I think that the most important habit for me as I work through this course is habit 7 1/2, Play! The reason why this is most important to me is because as an adult, I have gotten so used to "work" and doing everything because I have to and not because I want to.  I just want to sit down and get it done, instead of "playing" around with things. It will be nice to begin to "play" throughout this course.
