Week 1: #2 Lifelong Learning - Motivate Yourself

Among libraries, lifelong learning is one of those core values we shelve our books by.

So, it makes sense that before we embark on this new online learning and discovery journey that we should take a few minutes to view this motivational slideshow.

This short presentation will give you some tools to help you get moving and organized.

Discovery Exercise:



If you aren't able to view the slide show, click here or view it on Harriet.

For the first exercise, view this tutorial (see the full version with animation and sound on Harriet) and write down which learning habits are easiest for you and which are hardest. Make a contract with yourself about your learning habits. You will use your personal blog (which you will 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.

Next Week: Creating your blog so you can begin tracking your journey.
