Static Versus Dynamic Technologies Reflection
After I had finished both the required reading and the supplemental resources I understood the concepts of static and dynamic technologies. I have to admit I was a bit nervous when I read the headline for this module and I didn't have a clue to what either meant. But, with the chapters, journal, and other resources behind me I am happy to say that I get it! When I consider myself and the philosophy that I have for distance education I would have to believe that I am at the middle of this road. While I am competent on/at many of the dynamic technologies I know there is far more for me to learn. I do however believe that I have at least graduated from static (thanks to Walden) because of the new technologies that I have become familiar with recently.
It is because of the technologies and concepts that I am learning in this class as well as Dr. Thornburgs' that I am completely reinventing my technological self. The things I used to be proud of knowing how to do (such as moviemaker, wikis, blackboard) have been replaced with a whole new set of more difficult technologies. For example now I am becoming a Pinnacle protege, a Skyping freak, and a blogger. Who knew! I believe as this EDS program in Educational Technology continues these same technologies that I am so proud to finally know how to use will once again become obsolete with the reinvention of something better.
I believe that to move more to the dynamic side of the spectrum I need to first begin to trust in myself. I have a tendency of over thinking, over complicating, and over stressing about a simple task. I need to trust that I have been provided with the proper tools to accomplish the goals at hand. Then I will need to trust the technology. Sometimes this can be harder than it seems, but I need to have faith that things will work when I need them to work. Then I need to start thinking dynamically in my own classroom if I can start thinking this way with my students it will eventually become easier to be dynamic as a student and a learner.
I believe I have already taken the first steps on how to become more dynamic with my technologies and now I just need to keep working to understand and become proficient using these technologies in order to make these dynamic technologies second nature.
