Earlier in my blogging I talked about being comfortable being a beginner (thanks Jeff Utecht). For now I think I am, I know I am constantly beginning something, and as I trek forward with tech, I just have to know that I am a beginner, constantly, so embrace it right?
With my tech job I realize it’s not just me who has to be comfortable. Some of my colleagues are getting frustrated with trying to keep up with “all this tech stuff”. I try to remind them that it is all a process, we are only trying to use a couple of apps right now on the iPad and we are working on students creating. I want them to be the coaches I wrote about earlier. But some of them still feel the need to be knowledge givers, not continuous learners.
So I’m wondering how do I help foster this with my team. We talk about it all the time, I model it in my team teaching classes. I am comfortable being a beginner but I know not everyone is… so what do I do?
Loved working with the research tool on google docs, totally opened up so many doors!
