Online learning
Online learning is essential for advancement for acquiring
the appropriate skills to teach. Understanding how to navigate and where to
find crucial resources to extend ones knowledge base will illuminate the
outcome and help to advance my literacy skills.
Transitioning to the next level is my expectation of this class. Novice to expert are stages in which nurses
go through when they become clinical savvy; understanding the theory of why and
how a disease process will overcome one’s immune system. I look at online learning
theory the same; becoming an expert going through the different stages. I’m not
a novice nor an expert, but in-between.
Blogging is new for me therefore I’m excited because now I
have mastered another skill for online. Reading different articles will help to
explain how to master the system. Collaborating with classmates on the
discussion board will give a variety of viewpoints, which is necessary for
objectivity. Objectivity helps with
diversity in which seeing others opinions will create curiosity to search the
web for more data on whatever subject is being discussed.
Computer technology is essential at work, home and school
for me. I’m researching data and need
advance skills to find the literature I need for writing. At work nurses have
to use computers to chart, pass medications look up disease entities and
document occurrences. Therefore I cannot take online learning lightly it’s
essential for progress. I want to teach some online nursing classes therefore I
need to know how to help others and become one who is labeled as a good online
instructor.
