The Third Thing

7 1/2 Habits of a Lifelong Learner

The hardest habit for me is "using technology" and the easiest habit for me is to "PLAY!"
Using technology is the hardest because I have very little training in technology. When I was in school, we didn't have computers or any of the technology that we use today. Many of us "older" teachers have had very little training. Most of what I know has been on-the-job training. Using technology does not come naturally to me, like it does for kids today. On the other hand, play comes very naturally for me. My career as a physical education teacher involves teaching my students how to play a variety of activities. It is my hope they will find activities that they really enjoy, and, therefore, will participate in them for a lifetime (such as golf, tennis, etc.). Personally, I love to play! I enjoy playing all sorts of games, whether it's a board game, a card game, a word game, or an individual or team sport. Play is cathartic and a wonderful way to get away from it all! I highly recommend it!
