The Continuation of Technology

What is change? Change is a constant! However, the ability to change is based on the leadership of many in the organization. In order to be better prepared for change, learning should also become a constant within the organization. How can this be accomplished? Will this interfere with production and service delivery of our organization? With regarding change, go to the article Personal Learning Environments and click on the PLE. This gives you the history of PLE. By viewing the years and technological changes within those years, we can see that many things have changed, and they will continue to change. The best answer is at our finger tips. Really it is true. One word says it all, “TECHNOLOGY”. The world is at our finger tips through the use of the personal computer, (PC). Let me rephrase that, it is for people who understand modern technology. Meaning, take the time to learn the technology and then pass it on to your organization. Again, how can this be accomplished? By being involved and understanding web 2.0 learning. This involves the use of socialized web sites. The computer has made it possible for people to share everything from stories, recipes, and experiences to education. This is a huge development to the academic community. This is a type of social collaboration and is very active in all parts of the world. An individual can set up and control their learning. Online class to me is an early type of web 2.0 learning. One can still work and educate themselves with relative ease. In regards to the one article, from Ingo Blees and Marc Rittberger, German Institute for International Educational Research, the learning environment is like a portal. The online classes that I have had involve participation between the students and the teacher. Depending on several factors the class can be good or bad. I suggest that put forth your best effort, do your work, ask questions, and you will get out of your experience what you put into it. What I enjoyed was the participation by the instructor in the discussion questions, the resources they brought, suggestions, and their combine contributions. I was once very negative about the new technology, (Computers), now I cannot imagine going a single day with using one. This is why I truly believe that we must adapt to change because change is a constant!
