To sign this, hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing up, like an open book. Place your dominant hand open on your non-dominant palm, then pull it upward toward your forehead while pinching your fingers and thumb together. This motion represents taking information from a page and putting it into your brain.
Point to yourself for 'I', perform this sign for 'learning', and then fingerspell 'A-S-L'. You can nod slightly and keep a positive facial expression to emphasize that your learning process is ongoing.
Use a sweeping pointing motion to indicate 'we all', then perform the sign for 'learning'. A humble, encouraging facial expression fits perfectly here to show shared growth.

Yes! In ASL, the sign for 'learn' is often used to express 'still learning' depending on the context of the sentence. You can also add the specific sign for 'still' (pushing two 'Y' handshapes forward) before it if you want to heavily emphasize the continuation.
It doesn't need to make hard contact with your forehead, but it should come very close. The movement should clearly end near your brain to complete the visual metaphor of absorbing information.
The sign for 'student' is very similar! To sign 'student', you perform this exact sign for 'learn', and then immediately add the 'person' marker by moving both flat hands straight downward, indicating 'a person who learns'.
