For this assignment, I had to look at www.mymindgap.com.This was a very interesting blog. This is my summary and
some of the things I learned.
The Expert/Novice Mind Gap
Posted: November 07, 2010
In this blog post, she discusses how she got started with technology
and how it has impacted her life. She has been using technology for
more than thirty years. She states that "having a chance to explore
and play with what she was learning about made a difference in how
well she learned it." She has a great passion for technology. She was
an aircraft electrician and air conditioning technician for twenty years.
As a female, she was outnumbered in many of her assignments, but
that never held her back. Many of her colleagues supported her in her
attempts to learn about technology.
She states two implications for closing the mind gap. She says," if you are
passionate about something you should seek out information about it even
if you do not think you can learn it on your own." She also says,"to surround
yourself with people who are passionate about the topic." Her blog post was
very informational and shows that you can always learn something if you have
the drive to learn it, no matter what is holding you back.
Welcome to My Mind.
Professional Motivation
January 26,2011
In this post, she discusses what keeps her motivated and the love she has for learning.
As a member of the Air Force, she thought that technology was "just a part of her job."
Eventually though, this led to a lifelong love for technology for her. She became motivated
to learn more and more about technology throughout her life. She is currently a librarian and uses the technology she has learned on a daily basis. She has a strong desire to be a lifelong learner.
This post also discusses how she gets through ruts in her life. She says she always finds a
way to work through it and find her motivation. This post encouraged me to stay motivated and when I feel like I can't go on, to find something that will motivate me to push through.
