I have really appreciated the overview gained from the first few weeks of the web 2 module 1. Very grateful that this is spaced, collegial and interactive based learning. I constantly weave between thinking I know what I need to know and feeling I know nothing. This is just the way it is now and I have had to learn to accept this state of ambivalent competency. Whilst I knew lots of unconnected pieces of information, it allowed me to connect the dots and see the big picture. There have also been glimpses of information mainly apps etc that I do not know much about but in this world, I am ready to accept that I may not use the knowledge until I need it and then I only have to ask someone which bit of information to use and I will use it and learn it.
Learning in a busy learning environment is and must be, purposeful and just in time.
This is not just true for me but for my colleagues and for our students.
I feel as if I am being dragged along at the end of a very long tail on an amazing kite. The kite being the world of the internet. I am never tempted to let go but would love to stop and look around. Guess that is not possible so I will just hang on and watch this gigantic colourful swirling kite which beckons me higher and higher. The kite has has just left the ground and is full of wonderful potential. Thank God someone knows how to keep building the kite and knows how to keep it flying, they have my awe and wonder!
