The 7 Wonders of Learning is in full swing at Joyful Jubilant Learning today (not too late to get yours in!) and I made the smart move of putting my hand up for volunteer duty in getting the entries onto the compilation page – that meant I had to read them all.
Of the 162 collected as of this writing, I would say that these were my top 7 for giving me ideas about where I can take my own pursuit of tertiary education next.
If you are curious about the ‘L words’ they come from the 7 Wonders Mantra:
Listen, Laugh, Learn, Link, Love, Live, and Leap to Wonder~
- Entry 5. from David Zinger:
LEARN> Hostmanship: the art of creating hospitality.
- Entry 116. This was one of mine, and I fully realize I have much more to learn about the entire subject of copyrights and the handling of intellectual property.
LINK> responsibly and honorably, with attribution and giving credit where credit is due. Learn how at Creative Commons: “Share, reuse, and remix — legally.”
- Entry 143. from Dave Rothacker:
LEARN> At Core77, 1000 words of advice for design teachers by Allan Chochinov. "If you teach, you (can) learn."
- Entry 144. Also from Dave Rothacker:
LIVE> From those under the age of 30, Wisdom From the Connected Generation. "I have a challenge for those of you who are Baby Boomers or older: The next time that you professionally interact with a member of the connected generation, provide some wind beneath their wings."
- Entry 152. from Becky McCray:
LINK> Dip the Cow in the Ocean, Head to Tail - Linking The Dip, The Purple Cow, The Blue Ocean, The Short Head, and The Long Tail into a new way of thinking about your philosophy. I so love Becky for this! Without taking anything away from them, no guru can make a decision for you.
- Entry 157. from John Richardson:
LEARN> Get your Personal MBA: Mastering Business Without Spending a Fortune by Josh Kaufman
- Entry 159. also from John Richardson:
LEAP> 25 Ways to Distinguish Yourself, a ChangeThis manifesto by Rajesh Setty
Honorable Mentions~
- Entry 52. from Dwayne Melancon:
LOVE> Gretchen Rubin teaches us the happiness of seeing the world a little more clearly, by learning the term "service heart."
- Entry 82. from Tim Milburn:
LOVE> We must begin to answer the questions: What am I grateful for? What have others given to me? How has my own life been better because of the giving of others? The Giving Quotient - What You Give May Determine What You Get.
And because I believe that what Steve does here is so important~
- Entry 115. that I did for him.
LEARN> what ‘tertiary education’ is, and what it means to you: Tertiary Education: Whose responsibility is it?
