REFLECTION 1.3 - Challenges & Engaging with them!

When I position myself as a learner in this ICT design unit - I feel like I am staring down the barrel of many challenges.

The first challenge being that I don't feel like I know enough! What a great challenge to have though - because through all of our other readings so far (across all our units) we learn that we can keep learning (the word 'grit' is mentioned more than a few times... ). To engage with this challenge I will ensure I put my head down and work towards making myself better! Look at the smaller picture...what skills can I gain? Already writing this post I am gaining a new skill - who knew I could blog? Now that's exciting! With each little win will come some confidence. I wonder what will be the next skill I gain!

My next challenge will be to ask questions. I hate feeling like I don't know something or that I am behind the eight ball. I know however, that me asking questions will mean that I gain vital knowledge. What do you know that I don't? Will you share it with me? As I consider this challenge, I make a pact that whatever I learn along the way I too will share. 

I think we need a theme song for ICT designs because we're all going to have to bind together and help each other through...

I think by now you've worked out my areas are dance and drama (yes I could teach you the choreography to the above clip).. my final challenge, for this post anyway, will be finding ways to link ICTs to my area in a creative and fun way that makes sense! Not just putting them there because they need to be. I am completely open to ideas and suggestions!

I am looking forward to taking this journey, it's already seeming less scary than last week!
