Dr. Keith Robinson’s Blue Flavor gives nuggets of wisdom on lifelong learning:
- Make the decision to keep learning
- Get face to face
- Become a teacher
- Play
- Use technology to connect
- Mix it up
- You don’t need to master everything
On becoming a teacher, I’d like to think it’s more of ‘becoming a mentor’. In this role, one not only imparts knowledge to a student; one is open to learning from the learner. In this mode, I get to practice all the other tips that Dr. Robinson has listed.
More importantly, lifelong learning is always a choice. It takes courage to face people and say, “I still have a lot to learn”. It also takes a sense of social responsibility to say, “I want to learn, so I can pass on what I know to the next gen.”
What do you think?
