7 Tertiary Wonders

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?
