At last I have begun a component of my "lifelong learning experience"!! I was please to see that many others have joined in the fun -- I'm looking forward to reading their blogs.
Lifelong learner is so vital in today's world. As I watch young adults struggle with traditional learning I have often thought they we could instill the idea of being a lifelong learner in them if we were just able to tap into what motivates them. This was my motivation for taking the Raven at Web 2.o program. I enjoyed the slide show about lifelong learning; particularly the step of lifelong learning.
For me personally, the hardest steps will be setting a goal and then maintaining the confidence to complete the goal. There always seems to be so many distractions in life. The easiest step for me is accepting that it is my responsibility to continue my learning. As the years pass by and the time for retirement if lurking in the distance I know that even then I will want to learn more -- just that the goal of my learning will be different; perhaps more personal than the goals I set now which tend to be very career oriented.

Isn't it interesting how our learning goals do change as we get older. It is my experience that if I embrace technology access to learning many new topics has become oh so much easier. The down side is that there is so much more new information to sort through! Fortunately some of these tools will help in that regard.
