Week 1, Thing 2: Lifelong Learners

I personally think Habit #7 is the easiest for me. I know as a struggling student, when I was in grade school, that I would only understand things after I practiced them many times. I find that now that I teach students in grades 4 and 5 that I understand so much more of the curriculum that once confused me. I now know the background information to why we learned certain things and that it wasn't just for pure memorization purposes. I find that when I give even my struggling learners a chance to teach someone they do better on their tests and remember it after their tests too.

Habit # 6 is still very hard for me. I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to get to properly use the computer with my students. I know I do use technology a bit with sending information and storing information but I still have trouble finding the right programs for my students to use to enhance their learning and learning styles.
