Thing 1: Lifelong learning habits
Posted by: miranda in Uncategorized, tags: , 7 1/2 habits, thing #1The first habit is the most challenging for me. So much of this course will teach me things I know very little about, which makes it difficult to begin with the end in mind. I am curious and a bit excited about how this course will impact my teaching, but it is hard to envision it at this point. On the voice thread I mentioned how I was struck by habit #4. I am a confident learner, but when I stray from learning outside education and music I find it hard to keep up with the changes around me. As soon as I learn new things I find that dozens more have been created in the same time frame. It reminds of the Students Are Changing video we watched where they stated the jobs they might have after graduation have not yet been created.

Miranda: One of the things that you model for your students is life long learning. You were an early adopter of using the iPod in the music classroom. Not only did you see the value as the iPod as a teaching tool but you were also taking something that students were familiar with and adapting it to learning. Teachers that are willing to learn and change are great role models for students.
