Title your thoughts //yourname + thoughts // and type inside the message box. Click Post when done.  =**Activity 2 - Discovery **= It makes sense that before we embark on this online learning and disc overy journey that we review a few habits that can assist in creating lifelong learners. These habits, called the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, will provide you with a refresher on what it means to be a lifelong learner. The Seven and ½ Habits tutorial is a great introduction to Helene Blowers. =Discovery Exercise: = 1. Make sure you have headphones or speakers attached to your computer. 2. Open up the 7 & 1/2 Habits online tutorial and view the online tutorial. The tutorial was developed by the training specialists at the Public Library of Charlotte. (The Learning Contract is optional.) 3. As you watch and listen, write down which habit among the 7 & 1/2 that is easiest for you and which is hardest. You will use your personal blog (which you will set up next) to post your thoughts about lifelong learning. Have fun!
