Every person is a lifelong learner, whether they are learning in the workplace, an educational setting or through their peers. After looking through the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful People, the easiest habit for me is accepting responsibility for my own learning. If I did not value learning and realize that I am responsible for bettering myself, than I would not be in graduate school.
The hardest habits for me are being confident about myself as a competent, effective learner and creating my resource toolbox. I am very hard on myself when it comes to my grades and learning and I constantly doubt myself which is something that I need to stop doing. Also, I have so many resources at my disposal to create my toolbox yet I never seem to find the time to organize and utilize that toolbox to my full advantage both in and out of the classroom.
In my Learning Contract, I have outlined a plan to have confidence in my abilities as a learner and to implement the technology related tools that I have in my toolbox which I am not currently using. I am hoping that by the end of this semester I will start noticing a difference in my classroom by utilizing more of my tools.
