Week 2

Out of the 71/2 habits the most difficult habit for me would be number three - viewing problems as challenges. When problems arise my first reaction is to deal with the problem head on and get it resolved as quickly as possible which stops me from doing what I had planned to do in the first place. I find that a lot of problems arise as a result of email. I have read that if you have things to get done that you do that first and then open emails since they most often bring you more work or more problems than you started with.

The easiest habit for me is number two-accept responsibility for your own learning. With life changing as quickly as it does I feel you have no choice but to become responsible for your own learning. Whether it be technology, cooking, learning a foreign language whatever is needed to become successful or to complete the task at hand. The students are so technologically more advanced than most faculty that it is up to them to learn the technology and software as it applies to the students. Students actually flourish when collaborating on projects with other students sharing what knowledge they have to make the most of the presentation.
