I found 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners interesting and helpful to me. Not saying that i will make a 7 1/2 Habit Contract but it opened my own mind about learning. Habit 1- Setting goals i found would be the easiest, as i feel i am always setting goals for myself. Of course i sometimes set to hard of goals and think i need to break them down into steps to reach that goal. Of course the other most easiest goal is goal 7 1/2- Play.
With in the Habits i think the hardest one for for me and most likely several people is habit 3 and 4. Habit 3 is to view problems as challenges and not crisis. This is one that bugs me the most. When ever something pops up in my life and is, well pretty much puts a brick wall in my life really frustrates me. And well i have a bit of a temper so when something goes wrong or say different in my life, something i have not planed i get stresses big time. Of course after i solve the problem then i feel stupid for flipping out about it. Another Habit that i found hard is Habit 4. I have Confidence in myself but when it comes to confidence in my intelligence i short my self.
I think 7 1/2 habits is some thing i would love to bring up in my class if i was teaching upper grades like 4 and up. I think it will open their minds and show them that they have some control of the learning.
Working with Web 2.0 tools was a little interesting to me. I have a facebook account but never was into doing a blog. However i denfently see how it can be used to enrich others as well as yourself.
