After viewing the slide show on Lifelong Learning, I think the learning habit that is easiest for me is Habit #6, Use Technology to Your Advantage. Since I have had access to Internet for half of my lifetime, technology has always played an important role in my education. I often use google to search for information or facts. Also, I find tutorials through Internet searches and YouTube (www.youtube.com) and E-How (http://www.ehow.com/). Technology plays a huge part in my learning.
The learning habit that I think is the hardest for me is Habit #3, View Problems As Challenges. I get frustrated when I cannot control situations. Sometimes, I even give up when problems interrupt a task I am working on. For example, I was putting together a bookshelf one time and the pieces would not fit together. After pushing and pulling on the pieces, I gave up until a friend could come help me. I should have taken a few moments, looked at the situation, and then tried something new.
Using Web 2.0 and setting up this blog was easy for me. I have blogged since I was a teenager when Xanga (www.xanga.com) and LiveJournal (www.livejournal.com) were the cool new thing. I currently use tumblr for my own personal blog, even though I have been terrible at keeping it up to date ever since I started back to school and grad classes again.
