The habits of being a life long learner were pretty helpful to me. As teachers we always need to be thinking of new ways to laern new things. In order to make that happen, we need these habits to be picked up so we can take everything in, yet it it habit so it comes easier.
The habit that I think would be easiest for me is using technology to your advantage. I feel this way because technology is everywhere, there is so much of it, and these days it is so easy to have access to technology and how to use it all. Even 20 years ago when teachers were learning, they had forms of technology that helped them. Granted, it may not have been as easy to come by or use, but it was still available.
The habit I found to be potentially hard to aquire is to teach or mentor others. Of course I understand this will be my job, but I also realize that it will not be easy. When considering the other habits, this one stood out to me as harder. Teaching is something that is going to take time to learn how to do well, even though I know it is what I will love doing. I do believe that having a great love for what you are doing helps tremendously, but that does not mean it will come easy. I believe that teaching requires hard work, love, and time, to name only a small few.
