Knowledge is power !!!! To function well in the world ,we all must constantly update our knowledge and make lifelong learning a conscious goal.

It is important to remember that as an educator, I should also impress upon my students the importance of lifelong learning. What they learn in school is only the start of their journey, one of several steps, and that they should always seek to improve.
Comment on Matthew Corbin's post: Yes face to face learning is vastly different from online learning. In a brick and mortar school, students are inseat and infront of a faculty member. The faculty has the ability to speak and see each students' face and body language. In contrast, online learners have to be even more driven and disciplined to succeed. There is no teacher taking attendace; no classmate who always sits next to them. Their facial expressions are not visible on the low resolution camera. This allows online students the opportunity to hide in plain sight in thie class. This means that the faculty must employ a variety of strategies to create accountability, build community and make the online clasroom engaging and welcoming.

Cyber learning is becoming a more important part of education that ever before and it needs to be integrated into the classroom experience as appropriate.
Lifelong learning is an important element to keep abreast of current advances, technology, and changes in our ever-changing world.
Lifelong learners are also likely to be adaptable, familiar with innovation, and open to new challenges.
Self management and other lifelong learning skills are integral to professional growth
Life long learning is a forever thing and the more we learn or know makes us more productive in life and in the workplace.
Identifying the way one learns is one of the early keys to success.
