    Very important website for identifying most popular learning tools, compiled by the Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies at the end of 2012, Jane Hart et al. Jane runs the Centre and is a member of the Internet Time Alliance and the Social Learning Centre that is offering the PKM workshop that Lisa and I are enrolled in. This is a very valuable resource that should affect our Digital Literacy Foundations Workshop design and should show up someplace on our site--perhaps in the blog?

  • In thinking about the role of creativity in the aging process, how does your art affect your feelings about growing older? I know that it’s vital, because any creative project can take you out of being preoccupied with being sick or getting old, or whatever bothers you. You’re totally immersing yourself in creating. It’s one of the highs in life for me.
  • If there’s a message to share, as an older person take a passion you have and work on it, let it carry you through the years of losing memory, hearing, sight. Finding something you can do, that you can endure, no matter what your health is, is so important.

  • Often confused with shyness, introversion is an aspect of personality which affects how we engage in social activity and our preferences for learning.
  • ntroverts may prefer to work completely alone and discover their best ideas in solitude. They are likely to be comfortable in a lecture hall; listening and learning without the demands of engaging with others. But what we know about learning suggests that this passive mode of learning has its limitations, so many of us infuse our classrooms with more active learning strategies.
  • So how do we respect introverts’ needs amidst all of this active learning?
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • An activity where students work with a partner is likely to fall within the comfort zone of even the most introverted student, and it still communicates that active participation is both an expectation and a benefit for learning.
  • With time to think, and an opportunity to try an idea out with a partner, some students will be more willing to share with the large group.
  • In small group discussions, introverts typically prefer to listen first, gather their thoughts before they speak, and may be gifted in synthesizing the ideas communicated by others.
  • create at least one personal contact for the introverted student
  • learning and assessment strategies
  • online discussion environment
  • Given some choice and input, students might choose to have their participation grade based on verbal contributions in class, written responses in an online discussion forum, or a series of journals or reflection papers.
  • develop the skills often identified by potential employers — teamwork, problem solving, and interpersonal communication.
  • balance and choice

  • Remember those moments when you just don’t feel like doing a task, but you know you have to?
  • Starting is actually the secret to accomplishing a lot of things. Just by starting, somehow you are compelled to continue on. 
  • As psychologist Roy Baumeister and science writer John Tierney pointed out in their Willpower book, it works a lot like a muscle. Like a muscle, it can get tired and need recovery.

  • It also needs to be nourished. It is affected by a lot of factors such as stress, physical health, and nutrition. In other words, your “spirit can be willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised.”
  • 1.) DEFINING WHAT MOTIVATES YOU
  • f there is no underlying passion and serious motivation behind a goal, temptations can easily power their way against you.
  • .) DIVIDING YOUR GOALS INTO SMALLER PIECES
  • Contrary to many Vince Lombardi-type motivations, willpower is more like an energy that can be depleted. Willpower is a finite resource. It works in cycles; it is something that you build on and know when to maximize.
  • 3.) GRADUAL PROGRESSION & ACCUMULATING POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
  • 4.) YOUR HEALTH MATTERS
  • 5.) WORK ON YOUR EMOTIONAL BLOCKAGES
  • Find that breakthrough and learn why, at times, you may feel like it doesn’t matter.

  • What you want to do is debrief failures openly. That’s really critical to resilience, because otherwise when people fail they’re totally unprepared for it.
  • It's much more helpful to say I understand you’re probably in a lot of pain right now, and I want you to know I’m here with you. Just the acknowledgment and conveying you want to support them is much more helpful.
  • One of the things that affected me most, actually, was watching Sheryl commit to finding joy.

  • But the joy you feel has a huge impact on the people around you. I've spent a lot of time thinking since [Sandberg and I] talked about that. Joy is not just a contributor to happiness. It really is a source of strength. When we have more joy in our lives, it’s part of what makes life worth living.
